Pages

Delete pages or sections in Pages on Mac

You can easily delete any page in a page layout document, or an entire section (including all its pages) in a word processing document. You can also delete a portion of a page or a section.

Delete a page in a page layout document: Click in the toolbar, choose Page Thumbnails, select the page you want to delete, then press Delete on your keyboard. To select multiple pages, press the Command key as you select page thumbnails.
Delete a section in a word processing document: Click in the toolbar, then choose Page Thumbnails. Select any page in the section you want to delete (a background colour appears behind all the pages in the same section), then press Delete on your keyboard.
Delete only a portion of a page or section: Copy or cut the content you want to keep, paste it somewhere else (a different page or section), then delete the original page or section as described above. Alternatively, you could select only the content you don’t want, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
Note: If you’re in word processing document and end up with a blank page that you don’t want, click to place the insertion point at the bottom of the page, then keep pressing Delete until the page disappears. This removes all invisible characters like paragraph breaks and formatting elements.

Important: To recover any lost content, choose Edit > Undo (from the Edit menu at the top of the screen), or press Command-Z on your keyboard.
