Before Deleting a Page:

• Consider moving it to "Off Navigation" if you want to keep it accessible but hidden from menus
• Disable the page instead of deleting if you might need it later
• Set up a new home page before deleting the current one
• Remember that deleting a Shop page removes all products from inventory
