How I change the pages link in Wordpress

Question

I've created a page in my WordPress site called "About Me". Then I deleted it. Then I created it again. Now it's shows in the link like this www.mywebsite.com/about-me-2.

I want to remove number 2. I tried renaming the permalink but it didn't work.

Answer 1

Please remove the already existing page in "TRASH". Then try to create the page. It will resolve the issue.

Answer 2

The old page still exists in the trash. You have to go find it and permanently delete it (or rename it). Afterwards you can return the new page to just /about-me.
