How to delete pages?

Question

I'm a site admin for our Atlassian account (site-admins, administrators groups) but I cannot seem to find a way to delete a page anywhere in the app. Neither the detail view nor the pages/spaces overview gives any kind of direction as to how to accomplish this.

Am I really that blind? How do you delete a page from Confluence? The docs do not help. It states:

Deleting all versions of a page

To delete a page:

Go to the page and choose Tools > Delete. Confirm the action as prompted.
Note: The 'Delete' option will only appear if you have permission to delete this page.

I'm a site admin, what other permissions to I need?

EDIT

After much digging and help from Nic and Ann, I was able to find a way to do it. For anybody in the future:

* Go to Confluence
* Click "Settings" (not "Site Administration")
* Under "Users & Security" click "Space Permissions"
* Under "Individual Spaces" click "Recover Permissions" for the space you need permissions to.
* Edit Permissions

The rights for doing things should always be separated out.  Especially the "view" - an admin with 1,000 projects or spaces doesn't tend to care about most of them most of the time.  It's also a security risk, and a nightmare when trying to debug a permission if you're working with an account that "can do everything".  Admin should mean admin, and project/space level project/space.

Thanks Ann. With your and Nic's help I was able to dig through the configuration and give myself access. I find it very counter intuitive for an admin to not have rights to do certain things. Even more so because I can grant myself access. I wonder what the reasoning for a feature like this would be...

Delete is not an adminstration task [...]

That seems like a very counter-intuitive statement to me. I appreciate your guidance though. I was finally able to find the option after much digging. Thank you!
