For those who want to make their work perfect, here are some simple steps to help you delete unwanted blank pages. Just keep up reading!

1. Use the "Backspace" key

The easiest approach to deleting unwanted pages is to press the "Backspace" button. All you need to do is to locate your blank page and click the Backspace button from bottom to top until the blank page is removed.

2. Remove the Page Break

If that fails, please double-check if you have a Page Break mark on your document.

Step 1: Click Show/Hide button from the Home tab, and it will show all formatting marks in your document.

Step 2: Double-click the page break to select it and then press the Delete or Backspace button to remove it.

3. Use the Navigation Pane to Delete Blank Page

After launching the Word document, tap the View tab from the toolbar, and make sure the Navigation Pane button is checked. Then you can browse all the blank pages you want to delete in an easy way.

If you are using a window system, just locate the page you want to delete from the Navigation Pane, and then press the Delete button to remove the page directly, or you can repeat method 1 above to use the backspace key to remove it.
