About Deleting a Web Site Page
It is not a good idea to truly delete a web page. Even if you remove all links to the page from your own web site it is likely that pages you have no control over will still link to the page. This is because search engines will often see your pages and automatically create links to the page. It is a much better idea to update the page content telling the user what has changed. Or, add a link to the page linking to a page of your choice.
If you want to abandon an obsolete page, follow the suggestion above. Add a paragraph to the obsolete page. Let the user know the content is obsolete. And, add a link to the new authoritative page.
