Canceled SharePoint workflow continues to send reminders

This seems to be by design.

The reminders are being sent because of the tasks created when a workflow is started is still active. When you cancel a workflow it doesn't delete the tasks. You need to manually delete the corresponding tasks to stop receiving the emails.

Or you can choose "terminate the workflow". This will cancel the workflow as well as delete any related active tasks. However, this option doesnt send email to to inform the stakeholders that the workflow has been cancelled.
