If I'd like to kill all instances of that file manager, I'd do

killall thunar

which gives me

thunar: no process found

But this FM is definitely running!

Similarly ps aux | grep thunar doesn't find anything and yields:

killall seems to be case sensitive and for some reason, Thunar with capital T works:

killall Thunar

You can consider this debian forum discussing the topic.
