Pasteboard expands vertically

Question

Good morning everybody,I have a similar problem as https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/1-page-of-pasteboard-suddenly-extending-far-out/m-p/15138590#M609752, but in my case I cannot use the same strategy as the Pasteboard expands vertically and I would delete quite a few pages (see files attached).There are no objects floating somewhere around or on another layer.It's so frustrating, I have also tried IDML, new master page, new document, but nothing works &#128542;It's in three different places (out of 100 pages).Any idea? Thanks a lot.

Can you share the file?An alternate method to try is to zoom out ar enough to see the entire page, but no the entire pasteboard. Make sure that page is the active page in the Pages Panel and the with the Selection Tool active issue a Select All command (Ctrl/Cmd + A). This should select everything  on the page and pasteboard.Now hold the Shift key and use the Selection tool to deselect the objects on the page itself. DeleteAll of that aside, I would, as I suggested in the other thread, rebuild from scratch as there is obviously some sort of file corruption at play here which could come back to bite you later.

I don't quite understand why you cannot use the deletion strategy from the other thread. With the view zoomed out far enough to see the entire pasteboard as you've shown you should be able to use the selection took to marquee around only that pasteboard.
