Using Lightroom Classic to make Book  thru Blurb. Initially used Auto Layout, which created 50 pages. After editing, I only have photos for 17 pages plus covers. But can't delete extra 33 blank pages - pressing Delete button on blank page doen't help. Terry

Hold down the Ctrl key then press down on the trackpad. Alternatively, you can can configure the trackpad to accept two finger press to replicate right-mouse button. I've attached a screenshot.

Hi Terry, I've encountered this issue before. In Lightroom Classic's Book module, blank pages created by Auto Layout sometimes get “locked in.” Try switching to Manual Layout mode first (uncheck "Auto Layout"), then right-click the blank pages and select "Remove Page" from the context menu; the Delete key alone often won’t work. Also, double-check that you’re not trying to delete a left/right-paired page that requires balance.

If you right mouse click on a page you should see a context menu. There's an option to remove the page in this context menu
