Unable to view Unpublished Confluence pags

Question

I want to delete unpublished Confluence pages & subpages that I had created. However, I can't seem the to do so - can't even see them to delete them. I have tried to view them via top menu option Recent -> Drafts, nothing appears in that view.

Have also tried the Recent / Recent Worked On views. Still can't see these unpublished pages.

Can someone please advise me how to view these unpublished pages and/or how to delete these drafts?

I did create a sub-page and clicked 'Close' without adding or modifying the content of the page. According to articles I had previously found, it seems to indicate that a draft is created even if the content is not modified.

To not create a draft in this situation, various articles I had found states that you have to press the 'Delete unpublished page' option to not create a draft page.

This seems to align with my problem below. Below snapshot indicates that that there is sub-page under page 'Datawarehouse Power BI Video'; however, that sub-page is not visible. I want to delete the sub-page that is causing the 'down arrow' to appear. I can't find out where to see that 'invisible' sub-page to delete it.

Draft is displayed only when you add/modify content of a page and click "Close".

If you don't see anything with draft label, that means you don't have any draft pages.

Hi @Rilwan Ahmed  I have tried Profile (RHS top menu option) and went to the Worked On section (middle of screen) and even selected View all hyperlink - still can't see the unpublished pages.
