Then, I've created a new page having the same name with the error page, there is no problem. All I want know is detele the error one. Can you help me?

You can get your page open again in edit mode by using the following URL: /pages/editpage.action?spaceKey=&title= Where: * is the part you have crossed off in blue in your image above * is the key of the space the page is located in * is the BROKEN page name that you can't open any longer This will reopen the page directly in edit mode from which you can change the name to something less brok

Hi there

In looking at the URL it attempted to create from the page title you had, it is very likely it doesn't like characters that are in the title. While it has gotten better, my rule of thumb has become that spaces are ok but NEVER put any special characters you wouldn't put in an old skool DOS 8.3 filename. If you stick with that you will never go wrong.
