There are three options when it comes to removing extra pages from a Docs file.

Method One:

This method addresses page break issues. When you mistakenly insert a page break, maybe because of an editing error, this automatically adds an extra page to the document. To remove the page break, follow the instructions below.

1. Move your cursor to the start of the unwanted page. If you have texts on the page, place your cursor to the left of the first letter.
