You can cancel a leave request through either Slack or the Spock Dashboard. This is useful when your plans change or you no longer need the time off.
Once you delete a leave request, this action cannot be undone. Make sure you really want to cancel before confirming.

Important Considerations
You can typically delete leave requests that are:
Pending approval
Already approved (depending on company policy)
Rejected requests (for cleanup purposes)
Deleting a leave request may trigger notifications to:
Your manager or approvers
Team members who were notified of your absence
Colleagues assigned as substitutes
If you have calendar integration enabled, deleting the request will also remove the associated calendar events.

If you need to modify a leave request instead of deleting it, consider canceling the current request and submitting a new one with the updated details.
