Description
As per a topic on Twitter I think it would be valuable if the utility section of the CMS allowed you to cancel tasks rather than having to delete them from the Database table.

Putting in a vote for this by thumb above, as it seems much a good idea.
There used to be a plugin for it on Craft 2, but in fact I'd gotten fingers pretty adept at clearing the tasks table manually, while bringing up something with kind of involved use of Task (Jobs now, converted).
As a Utilities function, you'd gain not just for development. Admins could clear a stuck site immediately, when/if this happens, do troubleshooting later or on staging. In fact, I build such UI abilities into the plugin, on top of a considering circumstances but automatic stuck-killer. Because you integrate...another frame of use.
If implementing, would suggest a kill-them-all ability as well as individual take-out. This would give the ability to skip tasks which Craft knows are important to keep (or auto-restart them?). The same mechanism could intervene if you try to manually delete a special-handling task....

We’ve added a new Queue Manager utility for Craft 3.4! This has completely replaced the queue HUD in the global sidebar – clicking on the active job there will just link you over to the utility (provided you have permission to access it).
Special thanks to @gtettelaar for kickstarting this.

I'm loving the Task Manager so far, but does the queue HUD have to go completely? I realise that the actions may require permissions, but for (especially non-technical) users it is very helpful to have an overview of the current job summary (especially with the recent UI improvements) and what jobs are pending.

Thinking maybe we’ll just start showing the job status text (“Warming 77 of 93 pages.”) in the sidebar below the main job description.

Yeah that sounds reasonable. Then you don't need to worry about how a bloated HUD with 50 pending jobs in it appears.
