I'm not sure how to remove this...

In my website that I'm making the footer will not get any smaller.

I have two divs and I have them next to each other and its looks fine but there's a 500px space on top of them that I cant remove or make smaller.

It sounds like you may have an issue with a margin setting. Be aware that the mechanism of "margin collapse" can cause margins of child elements to protrude through a containing element

For more specific assistance, post a link to your site or to a workspace snapshot, or post the code itself (with Markdown formatting).
