Any workspace that is empty and not visible will be automatically removed because it is not needed. Just as a workspace will be automatically created if it does not yet exist when trying to go/move to it. ---- Unlike other window manager *i3* does not maintain a fixed list of workspaces but allows you to create any number of workspaces on the fly. This also necessitates a way to clean up workspaces. And by far the simplest solution is to just remove them automatically once they are no longer needed. If you want a workspace with the same name later on, it just can be re-created. Tue, 24 Feb 2015 23:14:26 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/5530/empty-workspace-at-start/?answer=5533#post-id-5533
