I think the function 'abbreviate-file-name' can help you.  Find more
information about file names in this info node:

(Elisp) Top > Files > File Names

If you mean all the org files listed in 'org-agenda-files':
That's normal and necessary for all the possible interaction in the agenda
buffer.  But you can type 'x' in the agenda:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
x runs the command org-agenda-exit, which is an interactive compiled
Lisp function in `org-agenda.el'.

It is bound to x, <menu-bar> <Agenda> <Exit and Release Buffers>.

(org-agenda-exit)

Exit agenda by removing the window or the buffer.
Also kill all Org-mode buffers which have been loaded by `org-agenda'.
Org-mode buffers visited directly by the user will not be touched.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

hth,
	Stephan
