This may be stupid question, but I could not find direct solution to this. I often want to unsplit window as follows

|              |             |             |              |             |

|              |             |             |              |             |
|              |             |             |              |             |

Currently, I start with ctrl-x 1 and then split vertically/horizontally. but my real qustion is how can one remove a particular window split with out disturbing the other window structure? is there any elisp function in built?
