Hi Priyanka, 

1st Method :
As Hemant & Suseela suggested - you can go to - 

1. ServiceNow Filter Navigator > System Diagnostics > All Active Transactions (Nodes) 
2. Find the latest record which is being created by you or updated by you
3. Select that record and click on the selection - Kill in the dropdown



2nd Method : 
Allow the background script to run till its completed and rollback the action that you executed. It will ensure that all modifications are reverted.

Hi Akshay,

Can you please tell me how much time, does it take for the background script to be complete?
