The Notion MCP tool notion-delete-pages moves pages (database rows too) to Trash. Without user_confirmed: true it trashes nothing and returns an error that lists what it would trash. Fetch the page first to confirm the title and parent, then call once with user_confirmed: true after the user says yes. Trashed pages can be restored with notion-restore-pages or from Trash in Notion. Side note for synced vaults: trash the Notion source too, or a later Notion import can bring the deleted note back.
