Deallocate and unschedule
Overview
“Deallocate” will remove allocated resources from the selected job(s). If a date and time have been scheduled for that selected job(s), they will remain untouched.
“Unschedule” will remove allocated resources and any scheduled date/time. An unscheduled job will have its job status reset to “Queued.”
