How to Delete a Page in WordPress

The ability to create pages in WordPress allows you to create locations for important information like your contact page or your privacy policy, without including those pages in your blogroll. These pages can be updated in similar ways as your posts, making it easy to ensure that important things are kept current.

But your needs may change over time, and you might find that a current page is no longer necessary. Luckily the pages that you create in WordPress can be deleted. Our tutorial below will show you how to delete an existing WordPress page and remove it from your site.

How to Remove a WordPress Page

The steps in this article were performed in WordPress version 5.1., but work similarly in most older versions of WordPress as well.

Step 1: Sign into the admin section of your WordPress site. You can navigate to your admin section by going to yoursitename.com/wp-admin.

Step 2: Select the Pages tab at the left side of the window.

Step 3: Hover over the page that you wish to delete, then click the Trash option.
