How can I cancel DownloadOperation?

You could cancel download easily with cancel token. You could pass CancellationToken to DownloadOperation when you start DownloadOperation

await download.StartAsync().AsTask(cts.Token, progressCallback);

If you want to cancel above DownloadOperation, you just call the following.

cts.Cancel();
cts.Dispose();

For more detail please refer BackgroundTransfer code sample.
