# How Canceled Files are Affected

How canceled files are affected depends on the state of the job at the time it’s canceled.

 
| Job State | Affect |
| --- | --- |
| Running | Job files automatically move from the/processing directory to the /failed directory. |
| Queued | Though queued jobs are cancelled, their associated files remain in the inbound folder. If the feed is re-enabled, any files in the inbound folder are picked up and processed. |

Note Files in all directories are automatically deleted after their retention period expires. See [Limits for Marketing Cloud Personalization](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=mktg.mc_pers_limits.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Learn about the limits and capabilities in Marketing Cloud Personalization.") for file retention limits.
