How do you Stop Power Query from thinking? It just keeps thinking forever....

I made some changes to my query. When I clicked close and apply PowerBI told me there were some errors. When I clicked on show me the errors a new folder popped up called "Query Errors" but PowerBI won't show me the results...it just keeps thinking, and thinking, and thinking... My query only takes a few minutes to ususally apply changes but now it's been thinking for over an hour and I can't get back into my original query. Is there a way to get PowerBI in Power Query to stop thinking?thinking.png
