How to Close All Finder Tabs Together

Finder Mac logo

When we get down to work to organize the content that we have stored on our computer, as the minutes go by, if not we are closing Finder windows, it is likely that our Mac screen is full of them and it is a hassle to find which one we are really looking for.

Although it is true that we can close them once we have finished copying or pasting the data, with the excuse of "just in case" we can leave them open. When the number of windows is very high, we have at our disposal a little trick that allows us to close them all together without having to go one by one.

Every time we open different files with the same application, macOS shows us each file opened with the same application but in different windows, instead of allowing us to access the different documents from the same window, something that Windows offers us and that macOS could implement. Proceeding to close all open documents without forcing the application to close is a hassle very similar to what we can find with Finder windows.

If we want to close all the Finder windows together or all the application windows that we have open, we just have to hold down the Option key when we click on the X of the window / application to proceed to close it.

At that time, we will see how all applications / Finder windows they close automatically without having to go one by one to quickly clean up our equipment. Thanks to this little trick, surely the laziness that you could find when you have to organize the files stored on your hard drive will surely disappear completely.
