how to delete a page in google docs

To delete a page in Google Docs, you can follow these methods depending on whether the page has content or is blank:

Deleting a Page with Content

1. Open your Google Docs document.
2. Navigate to the page you want to delete.
3. Click and drag your mouse to highlight all the content on that page (text, images, etc.).
4. Press the Backspace key (Windows) or Delete key (Mac) to remove the selected content.
5. If a blank page remains, place your cursor at the top of that page and press Backspace or Delete again to remove the page completely

Deleting a Blank Page

1. Place your cursor at the beginning of the text on the page immediately after the blank page.
2. Press Backspace or Delete repeatedly to move the text up and eliminate the blank page.
3. Alternatively, highlight the blank page by clicking and dragging your cursor over it, then press Delete or Backspace

Additional Tips for Removing Blank Pages

• Check for and delete any page breaks by turning off "Print Layout" view (under the View menu), which reveals page breaks as gray lines you can select and delete

• Adjust paragraph spacing by going to Format > Line & paragraph spacing > Custom spacing and setting the "After" value to 0 to remove extra space causing blank pages

• Modify page margins via File > Page setup to reduce unnecessary space that might create blank pages

These methods cover most scenarios for deleting unwanted pages in Google Docs, whether they contain content or are blank
