Boot Camp is stuck on Status: Partitioning disk

The progress bar has been on the same spot for a day. What should I do? How could I cancel de partition safely?

Thanks in advance

Your APFS Container is the full disk. Catalina has two separate parts. See About the read-only system volume in macOS Catalina - Apple Support for reference.
