How To Remove older versions of a page or the url containing -2 in shopify dawn

Store Design
1

I have updated my blog page a couple of times and now the blog url has a -2 or -3 at the end. The main /blog page is the older version of my new /blog-3. How do I remove the older version of the blog so my url just reads /blog without the version number beside it?

The older versions of my blog posts are still available on google. Sometimes when I click on the “blog” under main menu the older versions pop up. I want to delete all previous versions so that wont happen.
