Description
I couldn't delete my 'page' content type till I de-activated taxonomy browser and node type filter modules on my D6.2 site. I do not know which of these modules was the culprit as yet. I shall let you know when I find that out.
Thanking you.

I can't imagine why either would prevent it. However, I don't recommend deleting the default content types (page, story) because it can really mess you up when it's time to upgrade core. The best thing is to set your permissions so that no one can see those types if you don't want the used.

I am sorry for the mess up. I couldn't delete a specific page (not page type) in >admin/content/node. However I was able to delete the page in >node/x/edit without de-activating the modules.
I have tried again. It is the same again. I can not delete a page in >admin/content/node. I can delete in >node/x/edit.
Whenever I try to delete in >admin/content/node by selecting 'x' and try deleting it by selecting delete under update options, I get this warning on the next screen.
"An illegal choice has been detected. Please contact the site administrator." The selected page is not viewed on the next screen.
I feel really sorry for giving you very sketchy information in the beginning.
Please feel free to ask for any other information that you may need.

I am changing the title of the issue as it needs to be modified.

I just rolled the -dev version into a new official release.

Using Drupal 6.8
I created a "page" of content (Create Content-->Page--Create Page).
When I tried to delete that page (*NOTE - I was NOT trying to delete the Content Type--Page) - (Administer-->Content management-->Content-->click on Edit under Operations, then click on the Delete button at the bottom of the page)
The page would update, but would not delete.
I finally had to check the box next to Unpublish, THEN click the Delete button, and it deleted the page.
It would be nice if Drupal would prompt for you to UNPUBLISH the page first - OR - even better - if it asked if you are sure you want to Delete the page - OK or Cancel, and automatically Unpublish and Delete at the same time if the user chooses OK.
So far, unable to troubleshoot if this is a normal working function of Drupal, or if this is a bug caused by configuration/misbehaving module/the gods hate me today.

Hmm, I've never had any trouble deleting a page - and, yes, it asks if I really want to do it.
