Q4OS 3.14 LXQT Dual Desktop Issue

Hi
I brought an old Compaq Presario 2500 32bit 2.7mhz single core laptop back to life with the latest version 3.14 install only OS. (No Live medium).
I loaded a second desktop of LXQT and it ran great. I tweaked the settings ie theme settings. I now have a larger than screen window that I cant make smaller so as to access the APPLY button to revert it back to the default setting. I even tried Monitor Resolution to see if I could access the APPLY key but no go.
My questions are: Is there a terminal command I can enter that will revert the LXQT desktop back to the default as shipped setting, or a command that will remove the LXQT desktop altogether. 
Any other helpful advice you may have will be appreciated. Yes I have considered a re-install, had plenty of practice at that one, now looking to learn something new.
Cheers.

You may want to hold the right "Alt" key, click with mouse somewhere inside the window and drag the window out of screen border to get buttons accessible.

Is there a terminal command I can enter that will revert the LXQT desktop back to the default as shipped setting, or a command that will remove the LXQT desktop altogether.

... or a command that will remove the LXQT desktop altogether.

Run in terminal:
$ sudo apt autoremove q4os-desktop-lxqt lxqt*

Thank you kindly. Used the ALT trick. Sorry for being a typical Aussie bloke. Instruction manual, I don't need an instruction manual.
This distro and your support are impressive.
Cheers
