Can't delete Pages document

Using macOS Big Sur and Pages 12.1 I've tried everything I can think of to delete some unneeded Pages documents including dragging them to trash but nothing works. How is it done?

iMac 27″, macOS 11.7

Close the document(s) and quit Pages. Then, if on your local drive, select the Pages document in the Finder and press cmd+delete.
