The is no fee to cancel. There is a fee to use the $130 credit, and that fee in your case appears to be $200. Probably not a good idea. The $130 becomes a donation to UA.
Changing/Canceling/Replacing a ticket costing less than the change fee?

No because you could potentially use the credit in the future.
You should get an email of the cancellation and you have the original receipt. But the credit isn't lost for a year.
Worst case you could do the change and you will get a receipt for that.

No you get the full credit, change fees must be paid with "new" money, change not use the credit to pay the change fee.

Long version -- see the details in the thread's wiki / top post
Short version -- call and ask to do a change of original PNR.
