How do I delete blank panels from eclipse?

I'm using Eclipse 3.6.2. It has acquired a couple of blank panels (see screenshots) that appear in every perspective. I would like to delete them, but do not know how. Hitting either Minimize or maximize makes them take more space. Restarting Eclipse doesn't change them.

Thanks everyone

I had the same problem recently and I did this

Window > Perspective > Close all Perspective > Save

Then Go to Perspective again choose Other and choose Java(Default). After that manually close every perspective that you don't want.

Finally go to Windows > Show View > Console

Don't know if this was ever solved, but I just had an identical similar issue with the Eclipse-based Aptana Studio 3, and was able to solve it without an uninstall/reinstall or having to shift everything to a new workspace.

I finally solved it by right clicking each available perspective in the upper right, and closing them all: close_every_perspective,

until all perspectives are closed and you see a screen as shown below: no_perspectives_view.

At this point you should reopen a perspective and for me, at least, that worked. Hope it works for you and others that are having this issue.

Right click on panel's top bar(near minimize button) and select Close.

If you want more space for writing code, double click file tab(file name) and it will minimize all panels and expand your code writing area. Double click it again to go back to original position.
