Hi
Clay713You can cancel the score within 72 hours after your exam if you have not done it at the test center. But you can also reinstate your score after you have cancelled it.
If you score significantly better than GMAT score 610 (37-V, 36-Q, 3-IR), then it shows significant efforts done by you. Improving scores is normally considered positively by adcoms.
Finally it is your decision.
I have mentioned official answers to the questions below: -
1 .Can I cancel my scores?
"GMAT test takers can cancel their score at the test center immediately after their exam, at no additional cost. You can also cancel your GMAT score online for a fee, within 72 hours after the scheduled start time of your exam. Your cancelled scores will not be shown or otherwise indicated on the score reports sent to schools. For more information, click here. Please call GMAT Customer Service (Pearson VUE) as soon as possible if not able to cancel online within the first 48 hours."
2. If I canceled my scores but decide I want to reinstate them, what do I do?
To reinstate a canceled score, login to your MBA.com account or call the customer service number for your region (page 1 of the GMAT™ Handbook). The fee to reinstate a cancelled score is US$50 (additional US$10 fee will apply if reinstated by phone).
3.Is my score eligible to be reinstated?
Any valid GMAT exam taken on or after January 1, 2014 will be eligible for reinstatement. Going forward, cancelled scores can be reinstated up to 4 years and 11 months of the exam date. This time frame accounts for the 5-year life of a GMAT exam score, with a 1-month allowance for processing.
Hope it helps!

Hello,
I just took my GMAT for the first time yesterday and did much worse than I expected. I scored a 610 (37-V, 36-Q, 3-IR). My quant score and IR score are especially worrisome (26 percentile and 19 percentile respectively). I am planning to retake the test within a month and my goal score is a 700+. I am wondering if I should cancel my current score so there is no record of it (frankly, I am embarrassed by it). Does it look better to admissions counselors to see that I was able to significantly improve my score over the course of a month or would it be best to erase all evidence this ever happened? I may take the GMAT two more times, so in my opinion it looks really bad if I have 3 scores and one is this low, even if I do make progress in the future. Additionally, if I cancel now, I can always go back and reinstate it later if I think it will be to my advantage. What do you think, should I cancel my 610? Any advise is appreciated.
Thanks,
