How to Remove Web Pages
The web pages that make up your website often become old and obsolete as time passes. Not only is outdated content a sign that your site suffers from a lack of attention, but these website files also take up unneeded space on your web host. Consider doing some maintenance to get rid of the virtual garbage. Use the tools in your web host account to remove the web pages you prefer.
