Why not have a system in place which can reverse the operations in this case? So, on a move, if you Cancel, all the files that have already been moved from source to destination get moved back from destination to source. For copied files, they get deleted from the destination. Any unfinished transactions are cleaned up (no half-written files, etc) and ones that haven't started yet are abandoned (I imagine both of these already happen). Personally I wouldn't find both a Stop and Cancel button confusing, I would understand the use cases. However one button (I don't know which one it would be) which prompts the user "Would you like to undo the file operations that have already completed?" [Yes|No], perhaps with an expandable dialog to show them, would be nice to allow for both behaviors, cleanly, with one button.
