Hotel cancellation during a UK visa process - Male employee preparing tables in restaurant

My application showed that I would be staying 8 days in the UK. I showed 2 differents hotels. However I cancelled the first day of my hotel booking. But the remaining 7 days are still valid. Is it OK to cancel the hotel booking during the visa application process?
