Default How do I delete a section break completely?

Display the document in normal view: this makes the breaks more obvious.
Then select and delete.

I'm editing a document that currently has 81 sections. When I tried to
remove the first section by deleting the section break (next page), the
page
break line is gone, but the document still reads as 'section 1' when I
place
the cursor in front of the first word. When I move the cursor a couple of
characters, the document recognizes the section as 'section 2'. How do I
remove the first section to make the old 'section 2' the new 'section 1'
and
have the old 'section 3' become the new 'section 2', and so on?

Thank You!
