If I interpret your caps correctly, the space is created by Windows
itself which tries to obey Emacs' size hints.  Emacs wouldn't adjust the
frame to the right-bottom edge.  Can you try with
`frame-resize-pixelwise' non-nil (either in your .emacs or before
creating a new frame that you want to maximize to the left).

And please tell me the values of (frame-parameter nil 'fullscreen)
before, during and after you left the "maximized to the left" state.  I
need them to investigate Juanma's scenario.
