This gives the notebooks whose title start with "temp":
tempnbs = Select[
   Notebooks[],
   StringMatchQ[
     ("WindowTitle" /. NotebookInformation[#]),
     StartOfString ~~ "temp" ~~ ___
     ] &
   ]
this closes all of them:
NotebookClose /@ tempnbs
if you are courageous, do it in one step. Maybe you also want to play 
with the StringPattern to fit your needs...
hth,
