Question

I got a Schengen visa to France, But i have cancelled the trip. What do i do?Will it affect me next time?

Answer 1

It won't affect you next time, even though the issuing authorities might request a confimation of your travel (e.g. the actual ticket or receipt) before handing you the visa.  

Often, showing a simple itinerary or unconfirmed reservation is enough to get a visa.  Next time, they might be a little bit more picky.

Canceling a trip is not a crime.

Answer 2

You do nothing. You just wasted your own money and next time, you can apply again. It won't affect anything.
