after you've started typing a count you can remove the last digit of the
count by pressing <Delete> (NOT <Backspace>), e.g., after you have typed
42 as a count, pressing <Delete> twice will completely remove the count
and you are back in Visual mode.

This behaviour is documented in the last sentence at ":help count".

Jürgen
