You can't close them as far as I know. They have services that run all of the time.
I usually click on "Stop" a 2nd time and that works for me over 90% of the time. Do not simply unplug a USB external hard drive or switch it off. This may mess up the file and/or partition structure thus making the data unreadable. Been there, done that. Shut the computer down before you switch off or unplug the external hard drive, unless your clicking on "Stop" worked.
