Delete a Free Space Page?

+17 votes

I don't know about the rest of you, but over the years I have created a lot of free space pages to "practice" or "resolve an issue".   The pages were needed at the time, but, in many cases, the actual information has now been copied over to a person's profile.   The page is no longer of value.

It would be nice to be able to delete the page...no sense using up database space.   But, it looks like there is no way to do this.   I thought about just merging all those pages into one page called "trash", but I know the tech team doesn't like "redirects".  

Any thoughts?

Robin, if you go to the edit tab of a free-space profile, then at the very bottom right of the page should be a small delete link. This should work if you are the only person who has ever edited the page.

I do admit to having a page that I keep solely for merging unwanted pages into. It would be nice to know if there was a better way!

That is what I have been doing too Gill, always felt guilty, though made sure to clear everything on the page first and remove any links. Will look for Jim's little delete link now.
