Consider carefully when removing content from your website:
- Removing the content may affect Inbound links & Search indexing.
- Compliance with Records Retention.
Deleting a Page or Post is a 2 step process:
Step 1 decide how to remove the Page or Post:

Step 2 remove it from the menu:
If the Page or Post is in the navigation menu for the site, you must delete it from the menu.
