Hi @Nimma05 , Please check below to investigate it.
Try with pageManager.delete(pageManager.getPage(pagePath), true) and see if it works.
For the further investigation.
1- Check if the Page is being used by another process (workflow etc.)
2- If the page has multiple versions or is part of a version history, deleting the current version might not be sufficient. You might need to delete all versions or handle versioning.
3- Double-check that the user or service running the deletion code has the required access rights.
Otherwise, for testing, try deleting the page manually in the AEM. This may provide more detailed error messages or pop-ups that can give more clues about the failure

Hi @Nimma05
These exceptions suggests that exceptions you’re encountering when using PageManager.delete() in AEM are related to issues with the page’s versioning, permissions ensure that the page is not involved in any active workflows. Workflow references can sometimes prevent page deletion.
what you can try to skip versioning while deleting a page like
PageManager pageManager = resourceResolver.adaptTo(PageManager.class);
Page page = pageManager.getPage("/content/my-site/page-to-delete");boolean skipVersioning = true;
pageManager.delete(page, skipVersioning);
also check if the page has a corrupt version history you can remove older versions if needed
Can you please share the relevant parts of the exceptions?
