My site has pages I deleted and replaced with new pages a while ago. Now the replacement pages have “-2” at the end of their names. We just discovered that some of our printed materials have the original name (without the “-2” at the end), so I need to rename the new pages. Here’s the problem: I cannot find the old pages to rename them. If I type in the url, I get the old inactive pages. But they’re not listed in my deleted pages or in the database.
Does anybody know how I can fix this?

Could they be in posts or another post type? Or tags or categories that somehow have the same name?
Check what u/junglegutu said first, if you still can’t find them just set up 301 redirects for all of the links. So you’d be redirecting the old original link, to your new link with -2..
Ex: [site.com/original-link]) 301 redirects to [site.com/original-link-2])
The end user will never know the difference. You can either do 301’s in htaccess, through your server admin panel if they have an area for it, or install a plugin like *easy 301 redirects* or *redirection*.
