Destroy a dead window in Screen

Question

I know I can kill the current window using C-k, however it doesn't work for a dead window. Is there anyway to kill it? Thank you.

C-a C-k (kill) Destroy current window.

Have you tried -wipe?

	`-windex?` (I did actually search for that option, tragically it does not exist. neither does `-brick`) – mfinni Sep 29 '10 at 20:47
	Do you mean: screen -wipe SCREENSESSION ? I want to close the window within a session, not the session. – garconcn Sep 29 '10 at 20:48
	@mfinni: What version of screen do you have? I have "4.00.03jw4 (FAU) 2-May-06". – Dennis Williamson Sep 29 '10 at 20:49
	I am using Screen version 4.00.03 (FAU) 23-Oct-06 – garconcn Sep 29 '10 at 20:50
	@garconcn: Yes, or pid.tty.host, etc. – Dennis Williamson Sep 29 '10 at 20:53
