Hi egs,

You can delete the notebook or chart to get rid of the hung Genie task. Since Genie tasks are generating and executing read only exploratory queries against the SQL Warehouse, they generally don't modify the underlying Delta tables. Deleting the UI artifact must simply tear down the client session and abandon the execution state.

Before you delete it, you can first confirm whether this is just a UI desync. You can do a refresh of the workspace page or try closing and reopening the tab as it often clears a stuck visual state if the query has actually already finished or timed out on the backend.

If the task is genuinely still hanging in the UI after 20 hours, go ahead and delete the notebook or chart. To prevent it from hanging again, you can instruct Genie use a much smaller date range or add LIMIT clause in its queries.
