“Cancelling” isn’t really the right term. You need to record the loss as either expense or negative income depending on how you handle capital gains. There’s an explanation of how to do this in https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-guide/invest-sell1.html <https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v2.6/C/gnucash-guide/invest-sell1.html>.
