How to remove gap after removing axis.text?

Question

On this figure I removed axis.text.x by:

g + theme(axis.text.y = element_text(size = 10), 
axis.text.x = element_blank()) + 
labs(x ="Percent of respondents")

But the gap of former axis.text.x is still there. How to remove it?

Answer 1

Solved myself:

align = 'h'

in

ggarrange(..., labs(x ="Percent of respondents"), 
      labels = c("A", "B", "C", "D"),
      ncol = 2, nrow = 2)
