What do you mean by "not committed"?

In general, please describe in more detail what you did before and
after C-], as these details matter for trying to figure out what
happened in your case.  (Your evident assumption that there's some
obvious aspect of C-] that will immediately yield an answer is
incorrect, since C-] aborts the current command, but cannot possibly
undo the effect of previous commands on buffer text.)
