I had three Emacs windows open. It was using more than 90% of three cores. Hence I closed all of them (C-x C).

Still the CPU usage (found using top command is the same.

Also I am not able to kill the Emacs25 process (using k while top is active)

What have I tried? Read this. Didn't understand their solution.

    sounds like you are running into an infinite loop, what is the value of `savehist-save-hook`? This sounds like a spacemacs specific issue. BTW you can kill the emacs zombie procs with `kill -9` if `pkill emacs` or `killall emacs` aren't working with SIGHUP – Rorschach May 01 '19 at 14:45
  • The solution in that link appears to be telling you to paste those 4 lines of code into the file `~/.emacs` – Kind Stranger May 02 '19 at 00:11
  • @jenesaisquoi M-x savehist-save-hook gives me multiple options asking me to "Click on a completion to select it" – vineeshvs May 02 '19 at 05:50

    its a variable not a function, type `C-h v` and enter its name or evaluate it with `M-:` – Rorschach May 02 '19 at 07:26
