    Assuming you meant OSX....

     

    With the download still paused via Launchpad, open the App Store, click on Purchases tab, hold down the "option" key on your keyboard and the "download" button will change to "cancel." Click that cancel button then click "cancel download" in the second window that pops up. Job done.
