Open the folder containing those PDF files within Finder, then delete as you would any other file.

1: Right click on the file and select “Move to Trash”

2: As above, drag the file to the trash.

Thank you for the reply. On my Mac in Adobe, when I look at the list of files, there doesn’t appear to be a “swipe” option. If I click on the file, it gives me the option to “remove from recent” but not delete permanently. I have done a Google search and all of the articles want me to get a program to do it, as best as I can see but perhaps I have missed something nit tells me how to delete pages from a PDF file but that isn’t my plan.
