How to Delete a Page or an Empty Page in Google Docs?

You can edit documents in Google Drive using Google Docs. For instance, you can open a Word file in Google Docs and make modifications. Conversely, you can also create a new document and adjust it according to your needs.

Sometimes, there might be an unnecessary page or an empty page in the document, and you wish to remove it. Do you know how to delete a page in Google Docs? There are various ways to remove a page in Google Docs depending on different scenarios. We will illustrate these methods here. You can choose the one that suits you best.

How to Delete an Empty Page in Google Docs?

1. Use the Backspace key
2. Use the Delete key

Method 1: Use the Backspace Key

This is the easiest way to remove a page in Google Docs. Simply move your cursor to the end of the page you want to remove and press the Backspace key to delete all blank lines on the empty page. This method also works if the page you want to delete contains text.

However, if the page has numerous text lines, this method might take a long time. You can try another method to delete the page.

Additionally, if pressing the Backspace key does not remove the empty page and instead takes you back to the previous page, you should use the Delete key to remove the empty page. Please continue reading.

Method 2: Use the Delete Key

What if the previous method doesn't work for you? You can try the Delete key.

First, move your cursor to the end of the previous page and click. Then, press the Delete key to remove the empty page.

Alternatively, you can highlight the blank lines in the empty page and press the Delete key to remove the empty page.

If you want to delete all content on a page, you can also select all content on the page and press the Delete key to delete the page.

Tip 1: Adjust the Margins in Google Docs

Sometimes, the blank space in a Google document isn't an actual blank page; it’s just a wide margin. This often occurs on the first page of the document or at the end of the document. You can modify the margin settings in the document to remove the extra blank space.

1. Go to File > Page setup.

2. On the small pop-up window, set all margin values to 1 or any size you prefer. Remember, the smaller the margin number, the narrower the margin will be.

Tip 2: Restore Deleted Files from Google Drive

If you accidentally delete important files, you can recover them from the Trash folder in Google Drive.

However, if you can't find them in Trash, you may need to use professional data recovery software to retrieve them. You can try MiniTool Power Data Recovery, a free file recovery tool.

Please note that the deleted files must come from your computer or a USB drive. Third-party data recovery software cannot recover documents created and edited in Google Drive. For more information, refer to this post: How to Recover Deleted Google Drive Files (6 Methods).
