Confluence

This tutorial covers the basic tasks required to delete a page...

Requirements

• You must have sufficient privileges to view the page
• You must have sufficient privileges to edit the page
• You must also have the required privileges set by any Page Restrictions
• You must have sufficient privileges to remove the page

Step 1 - Editing the Page

There are two methods for deleting a page, depending on which theme you are using...

Standard Confluence Themes

In the standard Confluence themes, you must first edit the page by clicking the Edit tab above the page or the Edit link in the navigation bar to the left.

Now proceeed to Step 2 - Deleting the Page.

Builder Theme

With the Builder theme, you can delete a page by choosing "Edit > Remove this page..." from the menu:

This avoids Step 2 below so proceed directly to Step 3.

Step 2 - Deleting the Page

You will be presented with a screen that looks something like this:

To delete the page, click the icon in the top-right after which you'll see the confirmation warning in Step 3 below...

Step 3 - Save the Page

After choosing to delete the page, you'll be given a warning that looks like this:

It's important that you read this warning because it will tell you if any other pages are linking to this page. If there are other pages linking to the page that's being deleted, you can click the link to list them — should you delete the page, links shown on those other pages will appear broken.

If you are sure you want to delete the page, click the OK button, otherwise click the Cancel button to abort the action.

Hints and Tips

When a page is deleted, it is moved to the Trash Can so it's still possible to restore it. In order to have the page restored, you'll need to contact a Space Administrator or Site Administrator who has access to the Trash Can.
