How To Delete A Page On Wix

How to Delete a Page on Wix (6 Steps)

Here is the step-by-step process for removing a page from your Wix website. Each step includes a screenshot so you can follow along exactly.

Step 1: Log Into Your Wix Account

Go to Wix and sign into your account. If you have multiple sites, make sure you select the correct one from your dashboard. New to Wix? You can sign up with your email, Google account, or Facebook.

Step 2: Open the Wix Editor

From your site dashboard, click "Edit Site" to open the Wix Editor. This is where you manage all your pages, design elements, and site settings.

Step 3: Open Menus & Pages

Look at the left sidebar in the editor and click the "Menus & Pages" icon. This opens a panel showing every page on your Wix site, including pages that are hidden from your navigation menu.

Step 4: Select the Page You Want to Delete

Scroll through your page list and find the page you want to remove. Click on it to select it. You will see the page load in the editor preview area.

Step 5: Click the More Actions Icon

Hover over the selected page name in the panel. You will see a three-dot icon (More Actions) appear. Click it to open a dropdown menu with options for that page.

Step 6: Click Delete

Select "Delete" from the dropdown menu. Wix will show a confirmation popup asking if you are sure. Click "Delete" again to confirm. The page is now permanently removed from your website.

Delete vs Hide vs Remove From Menu: Which Should You Choose?

Before you delete a Wix page, consider whether you actually need to remove it entirely. Wix gives you three different options for pages you no longer want visitors to see, and each one works differently.

• Delete the page: This permanently removes the page and all its content from your site. The URL stops working, and there is no undo. Only do this when you are certain you will never need the page again.
• Hide the page from the menu: This keeps the page live on your site, but removes it from your navigation menu. Anyone with the direct URL can still access it. This is useful for landing pages, thank-you pages, or pages you only share through specific links.
• Hide the page from search engines: You can add a "noindex" tag to a page so Google does not show it in search results, while keeping the page accessible to visitors who have the link. This is covered in detail in our guide on how to hide a page on Wix.

If you are unsure, hiding is almost always the safer first step. You can always delete a hidden page later, but you cannot un-delete a removed page.

What Happens to SEO When You Delete a Wix Page

Deleting a page has real consequences for your search engine rankings. Here is what happens behind the scenes when you remove a page from your Wix site:

• The URL returns a 404 error. Anyone clicking an old link to that page -- from Google, from another website, or from your own internal links -- will see a "page not found" error.
• You lose any keyword rankings. If that page ranked in Google for any search terms, those rankings disappear immediately. Google will eventually drop the URL from its index.
• Backlinks lose their value. If other websites linked to your deleted page, those backlinks no longer pass any SEO value to your site. This can weaken your domain authority over time.
• Internal links break. Any pages on your site that linked to the deleted page will now have broken links, which is bad for both user experience and SEO.

The fix for most of these problems is setting up a 301 redirect, which tells Google (and visitors) that the old page has permanently moved to a new URL.

How to Set Up a Redirect After Deleting a Page

If the page you are deleting has any traffic, backlinks, or search engine rankings, you should set up a 301 redirect before or immediately after deleting it. A redirect sends visitors (and Google) from the old URL to a relevant page on your site instead of showing a 404 error.

Here is how to do it on Wix:

1. Go to your Wix dashboard and open SEO Tools (under Marketing & SEO).
2. Click URL Redirect Manager.
3. Click "New Redirect" and select "Single Redirect."
4. Enter the old URL path (the slug of the deleted page) in the "Old URL" field.
5. Enter the new destination URL in the "New URL" field. Pick the most relevant existing page on your site.
6. Make sure the redirect type is set to 301 (Permanent).
7. Click Save.

How to Recover a Deleted Wix Page

Once you confirm the deletion, Wix does not have a simple "undo" button. However, you may be able to recover a deleted page through Wix's Site History feature, depending on how recently the page was removed.

To try recovering a deleted page:

1. Open the Wix Editor for your site.
2. Click "Site" in the top menu bar.
3. Select "Site History" from the dropdown.
4. Browse through previous saved versions of your site. Look for a version from before you deleted the page.
5. Click "Restore" on the version that still has the page. Note: this restores your entire site to that point, not just the single page.

Because restoring rolls back your whole site, any changes you made after deleting the page will also be lost. That is why it is smart to duplicate the page on Wix before deleting it, so you have a copy to fall back on.

How to Delete a Blog Post on Wix

Deleting a blog post on Wix is different from deleting a regular site page. Blog posts are managed through the Wix Blog app, not the Menus & Pages panel.

To delete a blog post:

1. Go to your Wix dashboard.
2. Click "Blog" in the left sidebar.
3. Click "Posts" to see all your published and draft posts.
4. Find the post you want to delete and click the three-dot menu next to it.
5. Select "Move to Trash."

Unlike regular pages, trashed blog posts can be recovered from the Trash folder for up to 30 days. After 30 days, they are permanently deleted. If you are looking to add new blog content instead of removing it, see our guide on how to create a new page on Wix.

When You Should (and Should Not) Delete a Wix Page

Not every unused page needs to be deleted. Here is a quick breakdown to help you decide:

Delete the page when:

• The content is completely outdated and will never be relevant again
• The page is a duplicate of another page on your site
• The page gets zero traffic and has no backlinks
• The page was created by mistake or for testing purposes

Keep or hide the page when:

• The page still gets traffic from search engines, even small amounts
• Other websites link to the page
• The content could be updated and made useful again
• You use the page as a landing page for ads or email campaigns

If a page is getting traffic but the content is outdated, updating it is almost always a better choice than deleting it. You keep the URL's authority and ranking potential while giving visitors current information.

Summary

Deleting a page on Wix takes six steps: log in, open the editor, go to Menus & Pages, select the page, click More Actions, and hit Delete. Before you do it, decide whether hiding the page or removing it from your menu is a better fit. If you do delete a page that has traffic or backlinks, set up a 301 redirect to preserve your SEO value. And always duplicate important pages before removing them, because Wix does not offer a straightforward way to undo a deletion.
