Removing blank pages from indd single page document

Can't seem to get this right. I did a print version of an .indd file which has blank pages in it. Now I need to do an EPub file and REMOVE the blank pages. The page layout is single pages but when I go to remove a blank ID tells me there are objects on that page ( even though there are not) If I choose yes the blank remains. I tried this using allow pages to shuffle and allow selected spread to shuffle. Same result
