 * On our old site, we had a page
 * [http://www.domain.com/contact-us/](http://www.domain.com/contact-us/)
 *  which doesnt exist anymore.
 * No we have [http://www.domain.com/contact/](http://www.domain.com/contact/)
 * But Google tells, [http://www.domain.com/contact-us/](http://www.domain.com/contact-us/)
   was the famous page with good domain authority, so we tried to edit the permalink
   for [http://www.domain.com/contact/](http://www.domain.com/contact/) to contact-
   us , but its saving as contact-us-2
 * I searched for [http://www.domain.com/contact-us/](http://www.domain.com/contact-us/)
   on frontend and backend, but it doesnt exist, so why does it not accept contact-
   us ?
 * Is there a way to search this on database and delete the contact-us record, then
   it will accept ?

 * Go to the edit page page,and above the list of pages,just click the quick edit
   link to see if someone is using the slug

 * Also check the Trash under Pages. If a page with the contact-us slug is in there,
   WP won’t release it until you empty the trash.
