* Enter Mission Control (You can do this by pressing a key, e.g., F3 in recent MBPs. See System Preferences, Mission Control for the current keyboard shortcuts.)


* You should see the available desktops as little windows along the top of the screen.


* Hover your cursor over the one you want to delete (hover, not click) until a little x appears.


* Click the x.
