How do I kill all windows in a workspace if I can't open it?
I read this suggestion. But I can't do it because I cannot switch over to the workspace.

In this case the trick lies in specifying a window selection for the bound command. As any individual i3 config file (~/.config/i3/config) might be structured very differently, the following example is purely for demonstration. Also, the use of the Ctrl key might be a bad real-world choice due to its proximity to the Shift key.
# Close focused window
bindsym $mod+q kill
# Close all windows on all workspaces (any class string)
bindsym $mod+Shift+q [class=”.*”] kill
# Close all windows on workspace 1 (name stored in $ws1)
bindsym $mod+Ctrl+1 [workspace=$ws1] kill
For further information have a look at the i3 User's Guide.
Furthermore, despite its name the kill command does not actually kill the process but tries to use the WM_DELETE protocol. So depending on the respective behaviour a window might not close after all (most likely for a good reason).

Use i3-input -F <format> -P <prompt>
This is how I use it in my config file:
bindsym $mod+q exec i3-input -F '[workspace=%s] kill' -P 'kill workspace?'
Every occurence of %s in the string is replaced by the user input. Check i3-input man page for more details

Use i3-input -F <format> -P <prompt>
This is how I use it in my config file:
bindsym $mod+q exec i3-input -F '[workspace=%s] kill' -P 'kill workspace?'
