Tickets/Cancellation:
Cancellation request must be made by midnight of the day after the eTicket is purchased or midnight of the departure date of the first flight, whichever comes first. Available only for eTickets purchased at the time of reservation through Delta ticket offices and airport ticket counters, Reservation Sales, or at delta.com.
If you bought on the 18th you have till 2359 on the 19th to cancel. For purposes of this they consider midnight to be the end of the day, which causes confusion since most think of midnight as the start. You always get at least 24hrs is how I tell people to think of it.
