tasks hanging

last night I ran a sync of my centos repos and that was great . This
morning I tried to sync them again as a demonstration and of course that
failed . they're just hanging there.

So I checked my dashboard and saw some hanging tasks. two paused and
errored, one paused and pending, and 11 stopped and errored.

I can see these tasks and look at them, but I have no way to cancel them,
it seems. the button isn't live. I went into the dynflow console for a
few to try to skip the hanging bits and it seemed to have no impact . I
can't even fathom how these were hung as the server was down overnight and
just came back up this morning. These tasks are largely from last night.
Is there a way to clear them above and beyond rebooting the server?

update: is there any chance that creating a new activation key should take
ten minutes? I manually went into the foreman database and canceled my
tasks and locks to open everything up. I restarted all foreman services.
It's still hanging when i try to create the key .
