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.
This is so super annoying. If you can please help.
Thank you in advance.

I figured it out in Pages on iPad. Click your document name, click document options, document setup, remove headers/footers/document body. Then I could select the last blank page in thumbnail view and delete it.
Show more LessIPad-Pages How to Delete one page in thumbnail On my iPad I have pages open with thumbnail on side and I’ve tried to delete a blank page BUT it wipes out all of the pages! Thank goodness for the arrow back button. How do you remove 1 blank page without delete all pages?!
Accidentally removed pages from home page. Accidentally hit Home Screen in a blank spot and ended up removing several of my pages of Home Screen. Cannot get them back with the instructions given iOS16.1 I pushed blank spot, but it doesn't let me add them back. Apple says to add from the app library, but that deletes apps. How can I get them back? (I touched blank space, but not. given the option to restore pages).
Thumbnails Keep Returning 😬 Pages iOS and Mac I am forever closing thumbnails with Pages. Many larger documents open with Thumbnails, then I have to turn them off. If I open another app, then Return to Pages, again thumbnails are showing. It is so annoying, especially on my preferred iPad-Mini portrait view.

Please reply if you need more details.

But it’s not working that way. In Pages app, when you copy and paste a photo, you can freely move that photo wherever. The photo does not move along with the text. Well, the two blank pages that I am trying to delete at the end of the finished document previously contained photos. I’ve deleted those photos but the blank pages remained. This is one of those where Apple app is far from solid. Anyway, I suspected there’s a background or something that I could not see with the naked eye. So what I did was copy the contents (not the document, otherwise the two blank pages will come with the copy) to a new blank document. When I copied, voila, a left-over photo in the new copy version appeared. That was the reason. Anyway, I deleted that left-over photo in the new copied version because no matter what, that remaining photo is not displaying in the original version of the document with the two blank pages.
So, that’s how I solved the issue. Far from being an efficient method but effective, it solved the issue.
