Vanishing Act: How to Delete a Page in Google Docs (It's Easier Than You Think!)

Struggling with a rogue blank page or needing to trim the fat from your Google Doc? Deleting a page is a breeze! Unlike printed documents, Google Docs doesn't have a dedicated 'delete page' button. Instead, it relies on removing the content causing the page break.

Here's the quick fix:

1. **Identify the culprit:** Is it text, a large image, or simply empty space pushing content onto a new page?
2. **Erase the evidence:** Carefully delete the content at the end of the preceding page. This includes text, images, tables, and those pesky line breaks.
3. **Watch it disappear:** As you delete the content, the unwanted page will vanish like magic!

**Pro Tip:** Sometimes, hidden formatting (like excessive paragraph spacing) can cause extra pages. Show non-printing characters (View > Show non-printing characters) to reveal and remove these hidden culprits. Happy editing!
