Delete pages

Removing a page from SiteBuilder is a two-step process which involves first deleting a page, then purging it. You can restore deleted pages if required; purged pages cannot be recovered. For this reason, we do not recommend purging pages unless you're absolutely sure you will not need them again.

Important: When a page is deleted, any files or sub-pages under it are also deleted.

Delete pages

  1. Browse to the page you want to delete.

  2. Go to Edit > More in the top right user menu:

    A page Edit menu with the 'More' option highlighted

  3. In the Manage page section, select Delete this page:

    The 'Current page' tab in SiteBuilder, with the 'Delete this page' option highlighted

  4. A pop-up informs you that you're about to delete the current page and provides a summary of any sub-pages, files, or forwarding pages under the page:

    The 'Current page' tab in SiteBuilder, with the pop-up summary for deleting the current page displayed

  5. To continue, select Delete.

    Tip: After deleting selected page(s), we recommend you check your remaining live pages to make sure that everything is still working correctly. This way, if a page was deleted by accident, for example, or if it contains files or images required by other pages, you can restore the deleted page.

Review deleted pages

Visitors cannot view deleted pages in a browser. If you have edit or admin permissions for the parent page above the deleted page, you can find the deleted page as follows:

  1. Browse to the parent page above the deleted page(s).

  2. Go to Edit > More, then select the Sub-pages tab. Deleted pages are struck out and have a red DELETED label:

    The 'Sub-pages' tab in SiteBuilder, showing some active and some deleted pages

  3. Deleted pages can be left as they are, purged or restored, as required.
