Help Excess home screens

[hrabbit]

Hello group,

I've mistakenly created two new home screens (screens you see by swiping horizontally. They're sort of getting in the way. How can I get rid of them? I'm running kitkat on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4.

Thanx,
H

Your device comes with seven Home screen panels. You can customize the Home screen by removing or adding panels.
Note: The panel in the center position displays when you touch Home.

Use these controls to configure panels:

Add icon: Touch to add a new panel, up to a total of seven. This option is available when less than seven panels have been added.
Default Home Page icon: Touch the Home icon at the top of a panel to set it as the default home screen.
To rearrange the order of panels:
