I have around fifteen tables (with around eight to 60 rows each) that I

I had converted tables from html to latex to lyx and somehow I have all
these tables with empty column.
I don't see any way to select column to remove nor any interface to edit.
If I manually edit the lyxtabular tag to reduce the columns, then the
document becomes corrupted.
I don't want to manually go through and delete all my empty cells. Here is
an example of an empty cell:
<cell alignment="none" valignment="top" topline="true" bottomline="true"
usebox="none">
\begin_inset Text
\begin_layout Standard
\end_layout
\end_inset
</cell>
What is the correct way to get rid of entire columns?
Thanks,

You didn't specify a LyX version, but I'm guessing 1.4.2 or 1.4.3.
Right click in some empty space on the main menu. This should bring up
the toolbar selection dialog. Put a check next to "Table". Then click
anywhere in a column you want to delete. The fourth button from the
left on the table toolbar should be "whack a column".
