If the partition is empty (or there's stuff in it, but you don't want
it any more), I would DELETE it, and then GROW the main partition to use
that freed space.  (If they're not adjacent, you may need to move
another partition so the freed space is next to the main partition.)
  This gets you the effect you really want without the risky/tricky
business of trying to join two active partitions.

I accidentally wound up with four partitions; my main one which is too
small, one with my desktop, and one with all other personal data, the
other
one is empty and I don't remember creating it I tried to use EasUs
partition master to join the empty one and my main partition, but it
warned
me that doing so may result in loss of data and boot-ability. any Ideas
on
how to safely slim down the number of partitions and increase the size
of
my main partition?
