Delete zsh auto completion suggestion

Question

When I use tab-completion in zsh, the shell suggests me files and I discover that I'm in the wrong directory. How can I just delete the suggestion instead of backspace'ing it?

Answer 1

You can use the undo command (C-_ or C-x u) to cancel the effect of the last completion.

You can then press C-q or M-q to “suspend” the current command, enter cd correct-directory and resume your editing of that suspended command.
