I didn't say I want it to detect & remove all ad pages, I specifically said that I noticed that the signup page was used across multiple distributors, & that since it has the same name, & I've yet to see a signup page that needed to be kept, I want to delete those pages specifically. The end result, when I finish making the modifications I want, is to have a way to add the file names that are to be automatically deleted, & to add strings of words that, if present on a page, the whole page should be deleted.

It isn't "a lot easier" to manually do it. I add at least 2 books a month that have the same page that needs to be deleted. Sometimes I start a series that already has 20 volumes & get all the books in bulk at the same time. Manually going in & deleting the pages is tedious & unnecessary as I now have, from this thread, an automation step that removes them automatically for me.

As far as "safer" well yeah, but I'm fairly confident that I'm not going to find a book with a signup page that I DON'T want to delete, & if I accidentally delete one, I always have the original I can use or just re-download a fresh copy from my account. I understand the risk, & it's a known risk, taken willingly & I'm okay with that
