Unable to close many buffers by one command in Vim

Question

I use Vim in Screen. I run the command

vim <bigFolder> 

I am in stuck, since it does not make sense to close each buffer by

:q 

How can you close all active buffers in Vim, by one command inside Vim?

Answer 1

The :bufdo command lets you execute a command on all buffers. In this case, you want to run :bufdo bdelete to close all open buffers in one go.
