Cancel

Question

I wanted to buy some candy and went to the register. Then I changed my mind before paying, saying 'Can I cancel it?'Is the usage of the word cancel is fine?

I think I would just say "I've changed my mind".

We cancel something already done. I decided to stay at a different hotel in San Francisco last September, so I called the first hotel and cancelled my reservation.
