I am trying to "Download a CSV of Problem Responses" in the Instructor dashboard's "Data Download" section in Open edX, but while doing this a task became stuck as a "Pending Task".

It has been like this for over 2 days, is there any way to delete the task? I am unable to generate new problem responses until this pending one is completed.

Please see the instructions on the Open edX wiki for how to manually fail an instructor task from the Django Admin:

  1. Get the task id you're going to fail from the instructor dashboard: courses.edx.org/courses//instructor
  2. Go to the django admin panel, and click "Instructor tasks", which should be below "Instructor_Task"
  3. Find the instructor task you want to fail
  4. Set the Task state to "FAILURE" (all caps)
  5. Set the Task output to "{}"
  6. Set the Task key to "dummy_task_key"
  7. Click Save
