Acrobat DC error: Can't delete page. Error is "one or more pages are in use and could not be deleted."

[MarkCLI]

When I try to delete certain pages, Acrobat DC won't let me, and I get this error notice: "One or more pages are in use and could not be deleted."

I have tried the following:

1.    Setting the setting "View documents in PDF/A mode: to "never" (from default "only for PDF/A documents")

2.    Repairing installation

Neither of those worked. I've searched the forums and this seems to have been a regular problem, but none of the recommended solutions work.

Help!

Found a fix for this, if you view the page fit to window before you go to delete it in organise pages it lets you delete without the error.

remove all hyperlinks from document when you launch it, before you try to delete pages. edit ~ link ~ remove links. even though it may show no links once i performed this i was able to delete any selected page.

For me I suspect the problem was with OneDrive trying to sync the PDF while I was trying to delete a page within the PDF. After OneDrive finished syncing the file I was able to delete the page within the PDF. So as the error message vaguely implies, it could be another program such as OneDrive that is using the document.

I was pushing a bunch of buttons and did "Cut" and then "replace page", choose the page you want removed, and then it worked for me!
