Unable to remove area MVC4 Internet application

[blm7]

In the screenshot below i have selected a area with firebug.This is the standard mvc4 internet application template.As you can see the area above the selected area consist of:

• Header
• Body
• Footer

I am unable to remove the highlighted area (under the footer).How can i remove this so the footer is actually at the bottom?Could also someone explain what this area exactly is? I got me completely puzzled.

Regards P.
