SUMMARY Currently, you need to access the "Edit page" dialog via the hamburger menu in order to remove a page. It might be a good idea to provide the following ways in which a system monitor page can be removed: * By clicking the page in the overview sidebar and then pressing Del button on keyboard * Right click the page in the overview sidebar and then click "Delete..." or something Warning: I'm not a designer and UX/UI is not my domain, so take my words with a grain of salt.

I can't even see a way to delete pages once in Edit Mode. I agree there needs to be an easy way (or at least obvious) to do this. Perhaps when in edit mode icons come up next to each page in the left sidebar, one for rename, one for delete.
Deleting is a rather destructive action. So I do not really want to make that simpler, the current dialog acts as a form of confirmation. It also contains logic to deal with the difference between system-supplied and local pages, which would need to be recreated, another reason to I'd prefer not to do that. What might be possible however is to have a context menu that shows a few of the actions in the overflow menu. We may also be able to find a better name for the action that makes clear it includes removing pages.
I agree that we don't want to make deletion too easy. People will delete default pages and not know now to get them back. A context menu action for the list items could make sense though, yeah.

That's a very good point!
