How do I close a "No Name" which was opened with :e .. (explorer mode)? I tried Ctrl-^ and :bd!, but the buffer is still there.

Have you tried using the :buffers command to list your buffers, and then using :bd or :bw with the specific buffer number you want to remove?
:buffers
5 a "~/" line 1
11 a "H:\_unix_stuff_\Unix_Unleashed\UNIX.htm" line 1
15 h "[No Name]" line 1
:bd 15

ah!! I just realized your method works!! I have being trying :bd for so many times, they never work. the way i did it was to open the buffer using :b# . then from within the explorer mode buffer, i do :bd . with this method it just hide the explorer windows. i can still see the windows when i do :ls. Now i tried :bd# without opening the explorer buffer.. and indeed it closed the buffer !! WORK! Thank you Dan Pratt. So sorry i just paid very much attention into your method.. i never paid attention, because i have tried it inside the explorer window but never work. Commented Oct 3, 2020 at 20:00
:e ..I get a NetrwTreeListing buffer, and I can open files from there... How exactly are you getting to this buffer? Did you try:lsto list the buffers? And while editing a different buffer on the current window, did you try something like:bd #or:bdfollowed by the number of the "No Name" buffer? Also, same question but:bwinstead?
