There is an option to delete all diagnostic data collected (Windows 10 1803). You can find it under Settings->Privacy-> Diagnostics & feedback-> Delete diagnostic data. As others have mentioned you can access and manage it using the portal that is linked.*

Would that delete the data that has already been transferred to Microsoft?

And as others mentioned: the portal is useless for people without MS account. What about those?

That's exactly what this option does. It deletes everything that has been collected up until that point.

Why not allow to me to stop that collection in the first place?

You can, what do you see on your report that you want to stop?

> You can.

How? Unless you have Windows 10 Enterprise Microsoft will not allow you to opt-out of basic telemetry.

> What do you see on your report that you want to stop?

Why does that matter?
