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

Okay! I figured it out. I had to right click on the page preview and select “remove embedded page thumbnails”. After that I was able to delete the page.

wHAT A WORTHLESS PROGRAM!

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!

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.

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.

Youhoo, adobe, guess what. After that fun little update from last week I get this great opportunity of guess what??

"One or more pages are in use and could not be deleted"

So how about we fix the software that a few people here including myself are paying for as your SOFTWARE IS NOT EDITING THE TRANSCRIPT AFTER YOUR UPDATE!

I found another work around since the two "fixes" weren't working for me. I extracted all of the pages I wanted, so everything except the ones that wouldn't delete, saved the extracted pages, and deleted the original file. 

This problem is still happening.  I updated and restarted and did all the things.  I also don't think I saw anyone from Adobe respond to anything in this whole discussion.  

I ended up with the same issue and the delete never worked after fitting to screen suggestion, to work around this I decided to use a different method and I extracted all the pages I wanted and created a new document with them, move the page you don't want to the very top or bottom, click the first page you want, press and hold shift while you click on the last page you want, this should highlight all applicable pages and you can just extract them and re-save your new and correct pages.

It seems like you've already tried some common troubleshooting steps, but if you're still unable to delete pages in Acrobat DC due to the "One or more pages are in use" error, consider these additional actions:

1. Check for Hyperlinks and Bookmarks: Pages with hyperlinks or bookmarks may prevent deletion. Inspect your PDF for any interactive elements, links, or bookmarks that might be locking those pages.

2. Use "Print to PDF": Print the PDF to a new PDF file (essentially creating a copy), and exclude the pages you want to delete in the print pinoy tv dialog. Save the newly created PDF without the unwanted pages.
