Mac – How to stop the mini-buffer prompting for stuff if I’ve moved on

emacs

From time to time Emacs gets into a state where it is constantly asking me questions on the mini-buffer. This is usually asking for a directory path for an error from compile-mode. However whenever I respond to the prompt it just prompts again for another file.

Killing the compilation-mode window doesn't stop the flow of annoying mini-buffer prompts. Is there any way to kill all outstanding mini-buffer prompts? I thought 3 C-g's would do it but apparently not.

Try M-x abort-recursive-edit.
