Cleaning up WP Theme pages

  • I’ve installed a robust theme, framework, and it comes with many pages to show variants of how to use set up their them. There’s like 9 portfolio examples, there’s About Me, About Us, About Simple, About Creative, etc. My site is only 3-4 pages, but what should I do with all of these pre-built pages that come with theme. Trash them, or is there a method to stick them in an archive or folder in case I want to use those layouts later? My WP pages is cluttered right now, but ideally will just have a few pages.

    Is there a basic guide somewhere to “cleaning up” after you get a theme and are pretty set with website build?

    I’m a n00b, very n00b question. It was pointed out to me that I can select all of the unused theme pages, send them to TRASH in WP, and that just holds them out of site. If I want to use them later, I can pull them out of Trash. That solves my issue.

    (with that functionality, the label of TRASH is misleading. “Archive” would be more appropriate I think)

    The label “Trash” is used in the US English version. The UK English version uses “Bin”.
    But in WordPress, an Archive is the list of old posts, visible on your site. Since this is blogging software, it is ordered by date, and altogether the log of all the posts is an archive. That name is used as the generic template file in themes, for lists of posts for a Year or a Month or a Day. (even for a category)
