Hello -- How do I get rid of 2nd and 3rd desktops? When I go to System Prefs>Mission Control, no x-able small desktops appear. Thank you.

Mission control shows three desktops, why? As I was checking some issue, I noticed that when I used Mission Control, it shows THREE desktops. Literally Desktop 1, Desktop 2 and Desktop 3. I click on each one and I always get the same desktop with the same files. Does anybody have an idea if this is normal and if not, how to get rid of them. Thanks!

How to disable additional desktops? I have no need of a 2nd desktop. Although sometimes a 2nd desktop is created if I open a second window, example: I am doing some sort of research and comparing results from 2 different sites, all of a sudden it creates a 2nd desktop moving one of the pages over to the 2nd desktop, making comparisons more difficult. I find this VERY annoying. I have gone to Preferences->Mission Control->and unchecked every box there but it still happens. I have no use for Mission Control either but of course there is no way to delete Mission Control. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thank you for any assistance anyone is able to offer.

You need to launch Mission Control. App. and get rid of them from the App.
