Important: This article is for Goodnotes on Apple devices (iOS, iPadOS, and macOS). Deleted pages move to the Trash Bin first and are not permanently erased right away. To delete an entire document or folder from your library, see Deleting documents and/or folders.
In Goodnotes, you can remove single or multiple pages—including the cover—from an open notebook.

Deleting cover pages
