Not nessarley a good idea to remove those spaces anyway Rob they are there
for a reason.
They represent the ammount of extra memory the programs use once they start.

Removeing them will slow the start up time for those programs,, and the next
time you start and shut them down,, the "evil little spaces" will return to
your defrag analyses to annoy you anyway.
