   Note: On a site for which the Site Actions menu or Settings is customized, point to Site Settings, and then click the settings that you want to view.

1. In the Web Designer Galleries, or Galleries section, click Master pages.

2. Point to the master page that you want to delete, click the arrow that appears, and then click Delete.
