How is this different from the below?

 emacs -Q

 M-x info               ;; don't type RET
 C-h f RET              ;; describe function 'info'
 C-g

IOW, a C-g means "get me out of here all the way to top-level", so it
removes all the windows created by whatever you did in the aborted
operation.  (Of course, the buffers are still there, and if you have
tab-line-mode turned on, you can easily get them displayed ;-)
