I accidentaly started re-downloading and my only option is to pause it, but I want to stop re-downloading it. Any idea what to do?

As the headline says, I accidentaly hit the download-button in appstore and my macbook started re-downloading mountain lion which I've already happily installed. My only option is to pause the download but I want to stop it.
Why would I want to re-download it anyway...

I see, I didn't know you could solve it that way.
I instead went to Launchpad, found the Paused App there, pressed and held it until the option to delete it came up, in the form of a little cross in the corner (the same option that you get when you press and hold an App on iPhone). It wasn't moved to Trash or anything - it just dissapeared at once.
Totally agree on the unnecessary complexity - you should be able to do these kind of things directly from App Store.
