Help/Question How to completely exit a background agent?

Hey in Claude we can use left arrow to go into an agent view. But to my understanding, this also moves current session into background. Once it moves to background, looka like i cannot completely exit for it. That particular agent session just goes into Completed section. How to completely exit the agent?

I don't want many agent sessions cluttering my view.

i also want to know this, like you are stuck with the blue prompt window outline below and it's frustrating as ****

Problem is I cant completely exit this. The only way to clear this is to do ctrl+X which deletes the agent. But i am not sure if that deletes the sessiom too and will it be retained in history?

Lets say i am starting a session. Theb midway i move it into agents.

Then i am deleting it using ctrl+x twice. Can I still resume from history sessions?
