After Merriam-Webster:

Abort means to stop, cancel, or terminate a process, project, or mission
before its completion. It is often used to describe abandoning a dangerous
or flawed plan (e.g., "abort the mission") or ending a pregnancy
prematurely. It also refers to a technical stoppage in computing or
aerospace.

Synonyms for Abort:
Terminate/Stop: Halt, end, cease, discontinue, break off.
Cancel/Abandon: Scrub, scrap, call off, abandon.

'Abort' carries no notion of reverting the mess either.
