Delete a Pages document on iPad
Important: If you turned on iCloud Drive for Pages (in Settings on your iPhone or iPad), deleting a document from iCloud Drive removes it from iCloud and from all other devices and Mac computers that use the same Apple ID.
Delete a document
Open Pages, and if a document is already open, tap Documents in the top-left corner to see all your documents.
Touch and hold the document thumbnail, lift your finger, then tap Delete.
To delete a document shared with you by someone else (so that it can no longer be recovered), tap Delete Now.
If you don’t see the document you want to delete, try searching for it, or tap Browse or Recents at the bottom of the screen. See Find a document.
Recover a recently deleted document
You may be able to recover a recently deleted document or folder (including its contents).
Open Pages, and if a document is already open, tap Documents in the top-left corner to see all your documents.
Tap the link in the top-left corner to see the Locations list (you may have to tap more than once).
In the Locations list, tap Recently Deleted.
Do any of the following:
Recover one or more items: Tap Select in the upper-right corner, tap one or more documents, then tap Recover at the bottom of the screen.
To recover only one item, you can also touch and hold the name, lift your finger, then tap Recover in the menu that appears.
Get information about a recently deleted item: Touch and hold the name of the document or folder, lift your finger, then tap Info in the menu that appears.
If you don’t see the document you want to recover, try searching for it, or tap Browse or Recents at the bottom of the screen. See Find a document.
Note: When you delete a document that was shared with you, it’s deleted immediately from your device and can’t be recovered from Recently Deleted. If you later need to see the document again, tap the link you received in the original invitation or ask the owner to send another.
