Deleting a page
Remove a page and all its content permanently from your website and navigation menu.
Don't need a page anymore? You can delete it! This removes the page from your site and navigation menu.
What deleting a page does
Removes the page from your website.
Removes it from navigation. The link disappears from your menu.
Deletes all sections on that page.
Makes the URL inactive. Anyone visiting the old page URL is sent to your home page.
How to delete a page
Go to Website in your main navigation
Your pages appear as tabs along the top of the builder
Click the tab of the page you want to delete
Click Settings to open the Page settings panel
Scroll down to the bottom of the settings panel
Click the Delete page button
Click Yes, delete to confirm
Before you delete
Make sure you really don't need it. Deleted pages and their content can't be recovered.
Check for links. If other sections or pages link to this page, those links will break.
Save content if needed. If you might want the content later, copy it somewhere safe first.
Consider hiding instead. If you might need the page again, make it private instead of deleting it.
What happens to the content
When you delete a page, all sections on that page are deleted too. This includes:
- All text
- Images uploaded to those sections
- Links
- Timelines
- Everything
When to delete pages
You created it by mistake. Oops, duplicate page.
Plans changed. You're not having a welcome party anymore, so you don't need that page.
Simplifying. Your site has too many pages and you want to consolidate.
Starting over. Sometimes it's easier to delete and rebuild than to edit.
Alternatives to deleting
Make it private. Hide the page without deleting it.
Unpublish your site. If you want the whole site hidden temporarily.
Remove from navigation. Turn off Show in navigation in Page settings to keep the page but remove it from the menu. Guests can still open it with a direct link.
Archive content. Copy the content to another page or save it externally, then delete.
Can you undo a deletion?
No. Once a page is deleted, it's gone. There's no trash or recovery feature for pages.
That's why it's important to be sure before deleting.
Deleting your home page
Your home page can't be deleted. It's the Home tab in the builder, and it has no Page settings panel or Delete page button. You also can't set another page as your home page, so to change it, edit the sections on the Home tab. To remove the Home link from your menu, untick Home under Navigation links in Site settings > Menu.
After deleting
Check your navigation. Make sure your menu looks correct.
Test links. If you linked to the deleted page from anywhere, update those links.
Check external references. If you shared the page URL (in emails, social media, etc.), those links will now be broken.
Multiple pages to delete
If you need to delete several pages:
Delete them one at a time
Confirm each deletion
Check your site after each one to make sure nothing broke
There's no bulk delete for pages, so each page is deleted on its own.
Deleting vs. reordering
If you don't like where a page is in your navigation, you can reorder pages instead of deleting them. See our article on reordering pages!
Deleting pages is permanent, so make sure you're certain before you click that delete button!
