I wanted to test Opera Dragonfly. So I clicked on
Tools>Advanced>Developer Tools. Opera window was
split horizontally with Opera Dragonfly opening
in the bottom half. But it never opened. And I
can't find a way to remove it from the screen. It
has reduced the efect windows size of web pages for
me.

How do I use Opera Dragonfly? Do I need to download
something separately?

Thank You.

Nope, the Dragonfly files should download (if it is the first time you use
it) and fill the bottom pane with developer tools. Either Opera's server
was too lazy to send the file, or your system is somehow blocking it. I
assume you are using the latest Opera version and don't have remnants from
beta tests of dragonfly on your system.

The pane itself will then have a close button. There are other ways to
close it, the easiest is clicking in the dragonfly pane and pressing
Ctrl+W or using the 'close tab' mouse gesture.

Maybe the reason for dragonfly not starting is the blocking of https sites
through a firewall etc. In this case you can change the url in
opera:config#DeveloperTools|DeveloperToolsURL to http://..
