I accidentally pushed hint button at hidden object scene. Is there any way to cancel it?

[lastbreath]

So now I have 21/22 clean scenes. I'm so upset ((

Unfortunately not, but if you play the game again and won't use hint on this particular Hidden object scene, it will be added to the total number of clean scenes.

Thanks for help

No problem. I hope this help!

I came here to ask this question as well, but I guess I have my answer:

1. You can't disable the hint button.
   
2. If you accidentally press it, immediately switch out of the game and kill the process ("End Task" in MS Windows, "kill -9" in Linux) to prevent an auto-save.
   
3. Launch the game again and hope that the auto-save is from before the issue.

Definitely a feature request from me for future games: just let me completely remove the hint button. I'm not going to (intentionally) click it, I don't want to click it, but I don't want to have to redo the entire game to get the "expert mode" achievement so I'm gonna have to spend the entire campaign reminding myself to be careful any time I want to click something in that area of the screen.
