Delete Pages

[ens100]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When creating a link in a block of text using the [[ ]] it will create a page. When i then delete this [[link]] the page still exists and there does not seem to be a way to delete it.

Describe the solution you'd like
I would like to be able to remove the page with the no longer existing [[link]]

Tried going into the page and deleting its contents but the page still remains there.

Yes, it's not supported yet, will add "Delete page" first, so you can click it to delete the page.
Will consider this after that is supported.

Thanks! We've added auto page deletion in a recent update.

I still experiencing this. I have a "phantom page" which does not correspond to a md file. I have deleted all links to that page, restarted Logseq and refreshed, but it is still there when searching for pages / blocks.

I am also experiencing ghost pages. I'm on update 0.3.7 right now. After deleting a page with the "delete page" button, I can still see it in the recents list, and I can find it if I search it. When I click it, I can open it again, so it seems that it was never deleted.

I would like to add that it would be useful to have a way to delete all empty and unliked pages. Sometimes I open LogSeq and a new daily page is created automatically, but I don't write anything on it. I did this many times so now I have many empty daily pages that I don't want.

If others can confirm this, I would like to re-open this issue!

I agree, it would be nice to purge empty pages. Ideally some review dialog with checkboxes

The future is added in version 4.0.5 in the all pages section there is a "remove orphaned pages" option

Edit: I don't think it's available yet in the release. The pull request have been merged you can find it here: #2976

I still would prefer it if those daily pages are not created when I didn't write anything though. When scrolling back down to see my previous daily pages, I have to go through a long list of empty ones, which is not nice.

I am on 0.5.8, I still experience these issues. And after clicking "Remove orphaned pages" I get the notification that pages got removed successfully, but pages are still there.

I am also experiencing the same issue on version 0.6.2. I think this should be a priority. After deleting the pages I continue to see them in logseq.

I am also experiencing this issue. I trying to delete some pages, but they come back later. Refresh and reindex does not help. Looks like the problems rise than there are special characters in heading

[ryanissamson]

Same here—after manually deleting MD files which contained "(word)" the pages remained. Not sure if it's due to the parenthesis in the title.

0.6.5 this problem still exists when trying to delete an orphan page with a slash "/" in the title or after renaming the original title.
