When you say hitting the remove function, do you mean you are deleting the pages? If the menu was created with custom links to pages, adding and removing pages won’t affect the items on the menu. You can make some changes to the menu to allow new pages to be added automatically or (once you see how the menus are set up below) you can pick the pages & links you want in the navigation (menu).
There is an overview of how to set up menus in the Codex:
https://codex.wordpress.org/WordPress_Menu_User_Guide
Locate the menu item that you want to remove in the menu editor window
Click on the arrow icon in the top right-hand corner of the menu item/box to expand it.
Click on the Remove link. The menu item/box will be immediately removed.
Click the Save Menu button to save your changes.
That’s what it says about deleting menu items? The problem is i can no longer see it in the menu on the back end at all but it’s still appearing on the front end of the site
Do you have a website address you could share?
