Sometimes I mistakenly rearrange windows so there is an empty workspace at the top or middle of the list. So I need to move all the windows "up" to get rid of it.
In Gnome-Tweak-Tool you have the Menu Workspaces.
Select Dynamic Workspaces -> Workspaces can be created on demand, and are automatically removed when empty.
With this Option when you close the program from Workspace 3, then this workspace will be removed.

If you have "dynamic workspaces" instead of "static workspaces" enabled, an empty workspace at the top or middle of the list will automatically go away once you switch to another workspace.
