@rs43733 to delete empty pages you can use the code example posted in our Knowledge Base.
Please notice that pages don’t exists in MS Word and Aspose.Words, he pages are generated by the render process of the document so in some cases after running the code to clear blank pages you need to check for empty paragraphs or para graphs that contain undesired page breaks. The following code clear all the empty paragraphs:

Document doc = new Document(@"C:\Temp\input.docx");

var paragraphs = doc.GetChildNodes(NodeType.Paragraph, true);
foreach(Paragraph p in paragraphs)
{
    var text = p.Range.Text.Trim();
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(text) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(text))
    {
        p.Remove();
    }

    if (text == ControlChar.PageBreak)
    {
        var prev = p.PreviousSibling;
        if (prev != null && prev.NodeType == NodeType.Paragraph)
        {
            ((Paragraph)prev).Runs.Add(new Run(doc) { Text = text });
            p.Remove();
        }
        else
        {
            p.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBeforeAuto = false;
            p.ParagraphFormat.SpaceBefore = 0;
            p.ParagraphFormat.PageBreakBefore = false;
        }
    }
}

doc.Save(@"C:\Temp\output.docx");
