How to delete a page in Google Docs?
You have the power to remove one or multiple pages in Docs effortlessly. Simply select the text on the page and hit the Backspace or Delete key on your keyboard. However, if the page seems indestructible, it may be due to a sneaky concealed page break. These covert breaks are utilized to gracefully conclude one page and commence the next without any text.
Now, when it comes to eliminating a page in Docs, the process involves tweaking the line spacing and margins. Line spacing governs the vertical gap between lines of text and cannot be eradicated with a simple keystroke. Adjustment is required, which you can do conveniently via the Format menu. As for margins, they define the space between blocks of text and the edges or sides of your document.
The good news is that both the mobile and web versions of Docs empower you with these marvelous page-deleting capabilities. However, the web version lavishes you with a comprehensive set of editing features, while the mobile app might be slightly more limited.
In Google Docs, you can remove pages by selecting text. When working in Pageless mode, line breaks are not visible, which can make it difficult to determine the start or end of pages. Switch to the Pages view to see them clearly.

How to remove unwanted pages in Google Docs by adjusting your margins
Docs defaults to a one-inch margin on each side of a document. Wider margins reduce the text that fits in a line, increasing the page count. Adjusting margins not only saves space but also gives the document a cleaner appearance. Note that this feature is only accessible when using Docs from a web browser and viewing the document in Pages mode.
How to delete pages in Google Docs with page breaks
If you insert a page break into Docs in Pages view, it can create a blank sheet. In the Pageless view, it is not possible to insert page breaks. If you add the break in Pages view and switch to Pageless, you’ll see a section of text with dotted lines indicating the page break. On the mobile app, the text appears as a page break with dotted lines.

How to delete pages in Docs by changing line spacing
Custom spacing in Docs allows you to increase or reduce the gap between lines of text or paragraphs. This way, the text appears closer together or further apart, depending on the settings you choose. Smaller spacing between text lines or paragraphs makes the document look tighter and can save space by reducing the number of pages.
