p.s: Other options are to set a status flag in this process instance and use a filter in your report to exclude any instance with a 'terminated' status flag.

You can create a process flow to take the task to a Terminate event. Once done, you also require the data management of this process to be set to Delete immediately.
A word of caution - Though this will address your use case (a point solution), you need to consider the wider impact of setting the data management to delete immediately. There are alternate approaches available, such as putting this part of the process into a subprocess and setting the data management of the sub-process accordingly. I'd suggest you take a moment to consider the wider impact before making such changes.
