% You change directory rather than close directory

% We make two directories here for example
mkdir dir1/dir1_1
mkdir dir2

% remember the current directory
cdir = pwd;

cd dir1
% do whatever in this directory
ls

dir1_1

% Now change back to the original directory
cd(cdir)
pwd

ans = '/users/mss.system.MazITe'

ls

dir1  dir2
