Node-Red 2.0.6, Dashboard 3.0.4, Firefox

I intended to rearrange the layout of this dashboard, so I started by deleting lots of "spacer 7x1" entries in the right hand column "Layout".

After deploying, there seemed to be even more of them.

I deleted some more and now there lots, lots more of them and **they even overlay the bits of the dashboard with real widgets on** (part of page screenshot, unwanted spaces with yellow arrow overlaid).

I am afraid to deploy again! How to get rid of them all so I can start again to arrange the layout?

I don't know why they were proliferating but I got rid of them by ensuring all spacers were below all widgets then deleting all the spacers (about a hundred of them by then!)
