What is how to delete a page in google docs?

You can delete a page in Google Docs in a few ways, depending on what you actually want to achieve:

  • Deleting Page Content: The most common method is to simply delete all the content on the page. Select all the text, images, and other elements on the page, and then press the <kbd>Delete</kbd> or <kbd>Backspace</kbd> key. This will effectively make the page blank. If the page is at the end of the document, Google Docs will usually remove the blank page automatically. For more information about this concept, you can look at this URL: Deleting%20Page%20Content

  • Deleting Blank Pages: Sometimes, a blank page remains due to extra paragraph marks or section breaks. To remove these, try the following:

    1. Show non-printing characters: Go to "View" and make sure "Show non-printing characters" is checked. This will reveal paragraph marks (¶) and section breaks.
    2. Delete the extra paragraph marks: Place your cursor before any extra paragraph marks (¶) at the bottom of the page and press the <kbd>Delete</kbd> key.
    3. Delete section breaks: If you see a section break, place your cursor before it and press the <kbd>Delete</kbd> key. This can be tricky, so if you are having problems, you can read more about this topic in this URL: Deleting%20Blank%20Pages
  • Managing Section Breaks: Google Docs uses section breaks to separate different parts of a document, allowing for independent formatting of page numbers, headers, footers, and margins. Deleting a section break merges the sections it separated, so be cautious when deleting them. Be careful when removing this since it may disrupt the formatting of the rest of the document.

  • Using Pagination and Section Control: Sometimes, you don't necessarily want to delete a page, but rather control where pages start and end. You can use "Insert" -> "Break" to insert page breaks or section breaks to precisely control pagination. You can find more info at this link: Pagination%20and%20Section%20Control

  • If the page has a Table of Contents: Make sure to update the table of contents after deleting a page if it is related to one of the headers or text in it. If you don't do this step, the table of contents can get misconfigured. You can find more information about this process here: Table%20of%20Contents
