How do I get out of 'screen' without typing 'exit'?

gnu-screen, linux

Solution

Ctrl-a d or Ctrl-a Ctrl-d. See the screen manual # Detach.

Problem

I `screen -r`'d into a Django server that's running and I can't simply Ctrl + C and `exit` out of it. Are there any alternative ways to get out of `screen`? Currently, I manually close the tab on my local PC and `ssh` back in, but that's becoming tiresome.
