Edit Parent page drop menu when creating a page

You can use the page_attributes_dropdown_pages_args filter to remove whatever you want. It’s based off of the wp_dropdown_pages() arguments so you can use the exclude parameter to remove certain pages or a fake parent to remove all the pages:

/**
 * Filter the arguments of Page Attributes Parent Dropdown
 *
 * @param Array $args - List of wp_dropdown_pages() arguments
 * @param WP_Post Object $post - Current post object
 *
 * @retun Array $args - List of wp_dropdown_pages() arguments
 */
function admin_page_attributes_meta_filter( $args, $post ) {

    $args['exclude'] = array( 1 );      // Exclude page ID 1 from the dropdown list

    /*
     * Uncomment to exclude all pages
     * $args['child_of'] = -1;
     */

    return $args;

}
add_filter( 'page_attributes_dropdown_pages_args', 'admin_page_attributes_meta_filter', 10, 2 );
