Deleting an empty page in Pages app in iPad This should be super easy. Go to thumbnail pages, tap on the empty page, tap delete or cut. But I am encountering an issue (a bug perhaps). When I tap on the empty page, and tap delete, it generates a prompt Remove all content? All content in your document will be removed and replaced with an empty page. Then you tap Cancel or Remove. Regardless of whether I tap remove or click delete on the keyboard, it does delete ALL contents within the entire document instead of just deleting that one single empty page. My iOS is 16.7.2 This is so super annoying. If you can please help. Thank you in advance.

Tap to select the shape, then two-finger tap to open the secondary menu and then you select Delete.
