Is there any way to delete a confluence page WITHOUT deleting it from within the page itself?

Annika_9n6mf0

I have full space and application admin rights and can delete pages in the space but I have a page that I cannot access as there is an error.
The page has two macros 1) child page tree 2) Task report.
I do not want the hassle of trying to figure out the error, it is not important enough. But I need it gone.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Apologies for being unclear.

When I access the page I want to delete, I get an error.

So I cannot see the delete button (or anything other options).

I am hoping there is a way I can delete the page without having to do it from the page itself. I have looked through the space admin options and cannot see anything.

@Annika Please try the strategies in this doc and let us know if it's helpful: Editing or Deleting a Page That Won't Render.

Since the stack trace you posted seems to be related to "com.atlassian.confluence.plugin.descriptor.web.ConfluenceWebInterfaceManager" I also recommend clearing the plugins cache: How to clear Confluence plugins cache

I look forward to your next update.

This does not make sense. "Delete a page without deleting it" is what you have said. Do you want to delete it or not?

At a guess, I think what you mean is "I am trying to delete a page, but I get an error when I try". Please tell us where the error happens (as soon as you select delete? for example), and, more importantly, what the actual error is. (At the moment, for all we know, the error might be an angry penguin jumping on your mouse so you can't click anything)

I have updated my question, hope this is a bit more clear.

Thanks Nic

Ok, you should fix that, not try to just delete. What error do you get?

Thanks Nic

This is the error cause, I can provide the stack trace as well if required.

Thanks Ann, I was able to edit the page and remove the plugins using those directions.

It is all good now
