How to delete a page in Google Docs

It should only take a few clicks to delete a page in Google Docs. Here are three ways to do it.

Delete an unwanted page break

Even an empty page might have content on it, like an invisible page break.

If you seem to have a blank space taking up a page that you don't want and can't type in, it's probably a page break that you added by accident.

Getting rid of a page break is simple: Just place your cursor immediately after the blank space, and hit the Backspace or Delete button until it disappears. The text after the cursor should then jump back up to the page it belongs on.
