Cancel a backgroupnd_progress_worker

Good afternoon - a couple weeks ago I triggered a fix script, then cancelled it. I went to the Transactions - All Nodes view and verified it no longer showed as running.

 

Today I was sifting through the event log and noticed my log statement from that script has been generating empty logs since that day. I pulled up the xmlstats.do listing and searched for backround_progress_workers and found my script has been running since 2 weeks ago. I still do not see it in the transactions log and it still shows cancelled on that particular progress worker under the fix script. 

Suggestions on how I can terminate the script?

NOW Support provided this article: KB0635968 - How to Cancel a Long Running Transaction <-- it worked, the transaction is no longer running. 

-Just searched for the transaction under System Diagnostics > Active Transactions (All Nodes), tight-click and select 'Kill'

-The job may linger for a while (I checked back after 3 hours and it was gone).
