notepadrecycle-bin
I have opened many files in notepad++ window tabs. Is there any way(or any plugin) in npp to quickly delete all the open files?
I don't want to go to each tab, right click and use Move to Recycle Bin, since there are thousands of open files so I'm looking for a shortcut to delete all these open files in one shot. Could some please suggest if there is any way to do it?
Take a look at notepad++ Session management:
Sessions are a set of files opened in Notepad++. They store the open files, the active file (and which view, see the section about Multi-View), the current selection and position in the file, the current bookmarks (see Bookmarks) and the current language (see the section about Languages). Using sessions, you can open a set of (related) files with one action.
You would have to manually save your sessions at regular intervals or use some kind of macro to automate this ... unless you install the Session Manager plugin
The Session Manager Plugin adds aditional features such as Auto Save to the built in Session Manager
Open a file to the other view, then rightclick the seperator bar and choose rotate. It will go from horizontal to vertical mode, and back again on another rotate command.

My suggestion is to use another tool: Total Commander would be an excellent candidate for your task: https://www.ghisler.com/download.htm
It's so easy in TC to search for files Alt+F7 containing your specific text, just check the "Find text" field Alt+T, then when search is done select "Feed to listbox" Alt+L, and finally Select All Ctrl+A and Delete them
Note: if you want to preview any of your files before deletion just F3 over them and you can quickly view the content (and while viewing, keep pressing F3 to jump to all occurrences where you searched text was found)
