@JVC If it's not 0 or doesn't exist, try defaults write com.apple.Terminal NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows -bool 0

@JVC What's the value of this defaults read com.apple.Terminal NSQuitAlwaysKeepsWindows

| Sep 10, 2021 at 18:02 | comment | added | JVC | Unfortunately this did not work. On reboot, the old window was once again still present behind the newly created one. | |
| Sep 10, 2021 at 16:13 | comment | added | JVC | Ahhh ok, now I think I follow. So this is locking the "hidden" folder where the application window state is stored, for just Terminal in specific. Nice... I will give this a spin! | |

@JVC Alternatively, Open up Finder. ⌘⇧G and type ~/Library/Saved Application State/com.apple.Terminal.savedState - delete the contents, right click -> Get Info -> tick the locked box

| Sep 10, 2021 at 15:36 | comment | added | JVC | No I understand how to use it. I don't understand what it does, and I don't generally like executing code I completely don't understand the function/purpose of. | |
| Sep 10, 2021 at 15:36 | comment | added | hmedia1 | @JVC open up Terminal and paste the whole block in there and press Enter | |
