If you terminate the migration one of several outcomes to that User Account will result.

Everything will either work normally with no apparent loss of data,
some things will work, but some items / apps will be missing or won't work at all, or
nothing will work.

If you have reason to believe progress will never resume you really don't have any other choice.

Below are the steps to follow for a 100% flawless migration. I suspect that you may have used Wi-Fi to migrate, this was an error as the Wi-Fi method frequently fails. Please follow the steps in the link below!!!
