You can switch to any open tab with code like

driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[1])

Where 1, 2 etc will be the tab indices. The first tab will have index 0.
So, after switching to any tab you can close that tab with

driver.close()

And then switch back to the first tab with

driver.switch_to.window(driver.window_handles[0])

You can do that in a loop / repeat this action until all unnecessary tabs are closed / only 1 tab is existing.
