# delete permalink from database

 * I deleted a page named “tile-roof-repair” and created a new one. On the second
   creation the permalink was created as “tile-roof-repair-2”. I assume this is 
   to ensure there are duplicate entries in the DB. I logged into the database and
   I’m having trouble finding the table and deleting the first entry and renaming
   the permalink in the second
 * Any comments?

 * When you delete a page, it’s not actually permanently deleted right away. You
   need to empty the trash. Go to Pages, click the link for “Trash” then click the“
   Empty Trash” button.
 * That should permanently delete the old page and allow you to use tile-roof-repair
   again.
