You can get rid of it by returning back to the minibuffer and either
completing the command to aborting it (\C-g). To get back to the
minibuffer you of course have to do a {previous,next}-window until the
cursor is in the minibuffer. (ala \C-x\C-p or C-x\C-n, or \M-x
previous-w<TAB><RET>).

You got there executing a command that prompted for a response, and
you click the mouse in an other window, returning the cursor to the
window, while leaving the command still waiting. This does not
disturbe the minibuffer much as you noticed, but every command that
uses the minibuffer uses a recursive minibuffer edit.
