Is there a way to close all open MATLAB figures at once?

I would like to close all opened MATLAB figures at once.

To close all open figures, use the command

close all

Figures with the 'HandleVisibility' property set to 'off' will not be closed with "close all". To close these figures, use the command

delete(findall(0));

If you have a GUI that opens plot windows and you would like to close all plots without closing the GUI at the same time, then you can use the following code:

% Delete all Figures with an empty FileName property
delete(findall(groot, 'Type', 'figure', 'FileName', []));
