This 2:37 video from Daniel Gauthier - TwinBytes Inc demonstrates two methods for deleting stuck Windows 11 print jobs and clearing the queue. Press play to watch it here — nothing loads from YouTube until you do — and use the written steps below to follow along at your own pace.
When to watch this video
Watch this if you sent the wrong document or too many copies, or a job stays on Deleting and won’t leave the queue.
It's filed under cancel a print job and clear the print queue in our printer queue video tutorials, where you can pick a problem and see only the videos for it.
The steps in short
The exact clicks in the video may differ a little from yours, but the fix comes down to these steps:
- Open the print queue and right-click the job.
- Choose Cancel, or Printer → Cancel All Documents.
- If it stays on Deleting, restart the spooler and clear the spool folder.
If the steps don't match your screen
A video is recorded on one computer with one printer. Windows 11 and Windows 10 put printer settings in different places, macOS changes them between versions, and printer makers add their own apps on top. If a menu in the video isn't where you expect it, don't guess — the written cancel print job guide covers each version step by step, with screenshots and what to do when the usual fix doesn't work.
