Click and drag on the corner with the grabber (same one for making a new window). This will make a grey arrow which shows you which window will get put on top of the other. Release the mouse button when your cursor is over the window you want to go away.
Two caveats:
Now, using this knowledge, you have a bit of a puzzle to solve. You have to close each of the windows in the red square individually. So I'd start with the smallest one first. Join it with the one with which it shares a complete edge, and the go to the next-smallest.

To close an area, grab the tab that overlaps the area you want to keep and abuts the area you want to close:
There's a corresponding tab in the bottom left corner for closing areas below and to the left.
To close, drag the tab over the area you want to remove. An arrow will appear:
Release the mouse and the area with the arrow over it will disappear.
Hover between the areas so your mouse looks like this:
The right click and select Join area:
Then mouse over the area you want to remove and click to confirm.
For your situation, you must first close all the areas inside the area you want to close:
See the manual for more info.
Just drag the hatched edge to another side and release the mouse button (when the big arrow appears).
