extra white space below footnotes

I have about 1" of white space below footnotes on nearly (a few are OK) every page of a 500 page document.  I have tried removing extra formatting with the show/hide button.  I have tried removing black spaces (don't remember how I did that).  I've been able to get rid of a similar problem at the top of every page, but not at the bottom.

Answer
The problem turned out to be a lot of empty paragraphs in the Footnote Continuation Separator and Footnote Continuation Notice. No clue how they got there, but removing them apparently solved the problem.
