How to close multiple tracks from Audacity window?

I have opened 50 wav files using *.lof file (https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/lof_files.html).

I want to close all the tracks - without exiting audacity. Is there a faster way to do this without clicking on each individual x button on track corners?

Win 10. Audacity 2.2

Audacity 2.2
Hopefully 2.2.2. 2.2 is a bogus version.

I doubt it. Even when I select all the tracks they only delete one at a time.

It starts a new audacity instance. I want to close all tracks in original instance of audacity.

Is it possible?

The quickest way is to Close the project "File menu > Close". Note that this closes the project but does not Quit the application.

If you only want to remove selected tracks: "Tracks menu > Remove Tracks". You can also use this after "Ctrl + A" (Select All)

That's it. I only got the select part. You can also click the first track (just right of the up arrow) and Shift + last track. All the tracks in the middle go, too.
