How can I get rid of this roman number II? The page happens to be the second one, i.e., the one that comes after the Title Page.

enter image description here

This is how my main.tex looks like:

% Set up the document
\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, oneside]{Thesis}  % Use the "Thesis" style, based on the ECS Thesis style by Steve Gunn
%
% Put your figures in this directory
\graphicspath{Figures/}  % Location of the graphics files (set up for graphics to be in PDF format)
%

% Include any extra LaTeX packages required
\usepackage[square, numbers, comma, sort&compress]{natbib}  % Use the "Natbib" style for the references in the Bibliography
\usepackage{verbatim}  % Needed for the "comment" environment to make LaTeX comments
\usepackage{vector}  % Allows "\bvec{}" and "\buvec{}" for "blackboard" style bold vectors in maths
\hypersetup{urlcolor=blue, colorlinks=true}  % Colours hyperlinks in blue, but this can be distracting if there are many links.

    It's hard to say since you don't provide a Minimal Working Example that we can compile (we don't have the Thesis.cls file, nor the input…). But it might be related to tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1736/… in which case \thispagestyle{empty} might help.

    Have you tried to compile it in a new, empty folder? I get maybe 10 errors ERROR: LaTeX Error: File lstpatch.sty' not found., ERROR: LaTeX Error: File Preamble/Abstract.tex' not found.… The principle of a MWE is that it is Minimal (no useless commands: do you really need bibliography to trigger the error?) and Working (i.e. I can compile it directly).
    – tobiasBora
    Apr 4 at 7:01
  • And once I remove all the errors, I don't find any empty page like in your screenshot. Or unless you mean that you want to remove the page on the abstract ? Then I already pointed the solution above.

As I already mentioned in comments, you want

\pagestyle{empty} 

on the pages where you want to get rid of the page number (here I guess the pages containing the abstract).

% Set up the document
\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, oneside]{Thesis}  % Use the "Thesis" style, based on the ECS Thesis style by Steve Gunn
%
% Put your figures in this directory
\graphicspath{Figures/}  % Location of the graphics files (set up for graphics to be in PDF format)
%

% Include any extra LaTeX packages required
\usepackage[square, numbers, comma, sort&compress]{natbib}  % Use the "Natbib" style for the references in the Bibliography
\usepackage{verbatim}  % Needed for the "comment" environment to make LaTeX comments
\hypersetup{urlcolor=blue, colorlinks=true}  % Colours hyperlinks in blue, but this can be distracting if there are many links.

NB: By the way, avoid links to overleaf, you should try to write a self-contained MWE (Minimal Working Example) in the post if you want to maximize your chances to get an answer (not all people here will want to create an account on overleaf, log in…). Here, your overleaf links breaks all notions of a MWE:

  • it is not minimal (10 files are certainly not needed): writing a minimal example not only save the time of people that will help you, it also helps you to find exactly the line that is an issue.
  • it is not working : after the title page, I see no roman numbers:

  • The page in the OP is the page that comes after the Title Page. I need to either get rid of that header with the roman numbers or remove the blank page

    I don't see any blank page or page number in your overleaf version, see my edit. And for the 3rd time, please provide a MWE (and I insist on all letters), and let us know why \pagestyle{empty} fails, I already lost 45mn just to try to understand your problem. If by some magic a page is automatically added with the title and you want to remove it, see tex.stackexchange.com/questions/81704/…

  • I will add my Thesis.cls class, the one I am using. Maybe there is some kind of clash between packages.
