Hey bgfernandes,



Thanks for the question. From the information you provided, it sounds like you wish to delete a Space (or “Desktop”) in OS X Lion. You can do so from Mission Control:

OS X Lion: Work in multiple spaces

Delete a space


1. Enter Mission Control using one of these methods:


- From a trackpad, swipe up using three or four fingers.


- From the keyboard, press the Mission Control key. If your keyboard doesn’t have a Mission Control key, press F9 (Fn-F9 on portable keyboards).

2. Move the pointer over the the space you want to delete. After a moment a delete button (x) appears on the space.


3. Click the delete button (x) to remove the space. If the space contains windows, the windows are moved to another space.


Thanks,


Matt M.
