I don't know Polish so I sent this morning an e-mail to the list of 
registered Polish speaking individuals in my locality (registered as 
being able to help out if any linguistic problems arise in schools, 
elections, etc.), asking for their opinion.
I have yet only a handful of replies, all unanimously for „Anuluj". Some 
comments are like „Anuluj - 'Zaniechaj' is usually not used in the 
context of computers".

So, as to quote Oswald Buddenhagen in a response to  Łukasz Wojniłowicz 
<https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qttranslations/+/284474/2/translations/qtquickcontrols_pl.ts#24>:

"i see your point, but i think you're standing on lost ground with that 
one."
