Version 12.2.1 of Pages will not me allow me to do a simple task - I want to delete some blank pages at the end of my document.

This is extremely frustrating. I've tried everything but nothing seems to work. I ran a test document and if I go to View, Delete, the popup warns me that all content will be lost and a blank page will be the result which happened in my test! I'm on a time constraint and would really appreciate help fast! This software is not intuitive. Help me please.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.6

In a default Word processing layout document, the thumbnails are not for deleting pages. You will have to enable your document invisibles (View menu > Show Invisibles and then on each blank page, you will likely see the page or section break as a blue line across the document. Double-click to select it and press return to remove that blank page.

Only when you are in Page layout mode do the thumbnails represent individual sections, but also allow you to use the thumbnail to delete those blank pages.

Can't you just delete the pages manually? Just put your cursor at the end and press backspace?
