Were these created through code?

If so, it sounds like your code is faulty as they shouldn't exist. You
won't be able to close them through automation - they are being held open by
an unreleased reference. Until the reference is released (or overpowered),
then they will remain.

This script works great for instances that are open and visible. Is
there a way to close all instances that are only onen in memory?
