MATLAB: Is there a way to close all opened MATLAB/Simulink figures at once

Question

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

Answer 1

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));

To close all open Simulink models, use the command

bdclose all

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', []));
