Can I have the final leg of a multi-city flight refunded?

I have a refundable ticket taking me from 'A' -> 'B' and then 'C' -> 'A'. However, I have now made further plans, so that I do not need the C -> A ticket anymore. So, given the limited travel budget that I have, I'd like to have the return / final leg of journey refunded.

The cost of the total flight was less than the one-way tickets from A -> B would be now, so it does not make sense for me to cancel the entire itinerary. I'd like to travel on the first leg, and have the second leg refunded if possible.

p.s. I am not getting off at any layover. The flights from A->B and C->A are more than 15 days apart and I have my own ways of traveling from B->C independent of the airline.

Even if you cannot get a refund of the fare, you may be able to claim a refund of the taxes on the unused part of the ticket, which can amount to a significant proportion of its price. See e.g. here. The details depend on the country and airline.
