How to Delete a Slide in PowerPoint

Deleting a slide in PowerPoint is a very simple process if you know how to do it. If you don't, you could end up fussing with the menus and getting frustrated because you can't directly choose the contents of a slide and delete it. That will simply remove the content and leave you with a blank slide, which doesn't really help. In addition, if you've already converted your presentation into a PDF for storage/archiving purposes, you'll need a tool to delete that page without affecting the other pages and content. This article shows you both actions - how to delete a slide in PowerPoint and how to delete a page in PDF with PDFelement so you're covered under either circumstance.

PDFelement makes it super-simple by giving you several page view options so you can see the results as you delete pages.

Open the PDF file from which you want to delete a page.
Click on the "Page" menu item in the top toolbar.
Click the trash bin icon in the tool panel right below that.
In the "Delete Pages" window, choose the page, pages, or page range to be deleted.
Hit "OK" and save the new version of the file with the deleted pages gone.
