    This works on a test site (but I don't know why your having the problem)

    cPanel > PhpMyAdmin > Choose your WP database > Posts Table (browse) > Delete the entry matching your page title.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~
    All the pages end up in the database as 'posts'.
    Deleting the page this way, did not seem to harm the test site.
    If you also keep a back-up this should solve at least part of your issue.
    ~~~~~~~~~

    Good luck

    I've found that my posts will not delete either, or so it appears. Once I refresh the page (as it suggests at the bottom, but as you may have many posts as I know I do, you may not have noticed it if you did not scroll down), it is no longer listed and when I go to the site it is gone as well.

    Thanks all. I was able to use a back up of the database and solved the problem that way.
