You can achieve this by using IMonitorinApi and fetch jobs that are processing. Then you can delete them by using IBackgroundJobClient. You need to pass in a cancellationtoken though.

```
    public void InitializeJobs()
    {
        const string myRecurringJobId = "Ftmch-20";
        _recurringJobManager.AddOrUpdate(
            myRecurringJobId,
            Job.FromExpression<MyJob>(j => j.LongRunningJob(null, CancellationToken.None)),
            "0/10 * * * * *");
    }

```

…

```
    public class MyJob
    {
        private readonly IBackgroundJobClient _backgroundJobClient;

        public MyJob(IBackgroundJobClient backgroundJobClient) => _backgroundJobClient = backgroundJobClient;

        public void LongRunningJob(PerformContext context, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
        {
            var currentJobId = context.BackgroundJob.Id;

            var monitoringApi = JobStorage.Current.GetMonitoringApi();

            var jobsToDelete = monitoringApi.ProcessingJobs(0, 1000)
                .Where(j => j.Value.Job.Type == typeof(MyJob))
                .Where(j => j.Key != currentJobId)
                .ToList();

            foreach (var jobToDelete in jobsToDelete)
            {
                _backgroundJobClient.Delete(jobToDelete.Key);
            }

            var endTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(5);
            while (endTime > DateTime.UtcNow)
            {
                cancellationToken.ThrowIfCancellationRequested();
                Thread.Sleep(2000);
            }
        }
    }
```
