Usually, you should be able to interrupt Tramp's activities by
C-g. Which version of Tramp do you use? You find it out by
"C-h v tramp-version".

Furthermore, there are some commands to close a connection.
"M-x tramp-cleanup-connection" allows you to close a connection.
"M-x tramp-cleanup-all-connections" closes all existing connections, and
"M-x tramp-cleanup-all-buffers" does the same, and deletes also related
buffers.

Best regards, Michael.
