thank you for your reply, your answer is correct,but I think Adam Danz's answer is I want.
Thanks a lot. This work very good.
your answer is so great !!!
That is the most concise and elegant two-liner since:
Take my wife.
Please.
Thank you, but don't take my wife. Your codes works for me, just a quick question:
What does the 0 represent? I try to figure out with help findall, and find nothing helpful...
Thanks, and take my wife now.
0 is the graphics root object, which is also returned by the groot function, so you could do findall(groot,_)

Just to add another approach,
Set HandleVisibility to on when you create the UIFigures. That way their handles will be visible to gcf() , close all, etc....
uifigure('HandleVisibility', 'on')

Yes very nice answer because when you move from guide to app it is not easy to uderstand that
In Matlab 2019b HandleVisibility is 'off' and is read only. Is there any workaround?
@Jan Kudlacek, you can use Ameer Hamza's solution below.
I don't konw why but this doesn't work for me... weird...

If you want to keep some figures you can close a subset of them if you keep the figure-handles in an array. If you modify your creation to something like this for all call to uifigure:
if ~exist('uifig')
uifig = uifigure;
else
uifig(end+1) = uifigure;
end
if ~exist('uifig')
uifig = uifigure;
else
uifig(end+1) = uifigure;
end
% ...etc
% then you can close some suitable set of them, or all of them
% closing all:
close([uifig]),clear uifig
% closing some:
close([uifig([1 3])]),uifig([1 3]) = [];
