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".
