MODx is an excellent AJAX enabled content management system, which is leagues ahead of Joomla / Mambo. One of the features of MODx is that pages aren't fully deleted. They are marked as deleted (displayed as strike-through items) and they are not displayed on the web. However they still remain in the database. This is a great feature to prevent accidental deletion. However sometimes you really need to delete pages to reduce the clutter and prevent conflicting aliases. Here is how you can truly (and irrevocably) delete pages from the database.
