    Ok, I finally got this to work without Using flow. Do the following.

    1.Go to Site Pages on your Site.
    2.Change your view to "All Items"
    3.Now Click the + to add a column to view, and select Show/Hide Columns
    4.Check Promoted State column and click "Apply" at the top.
    5.Now Click the view drop down and Save view as
    6.Name it "All Items and State"
    7.Now you should be able to click "Quick Edit" and then Promoted State column will be exposed to change the value. Change the page you no longer want to be news from 2 to 0 and Click exit and your page can now be a Site page again.

There are a couple ways: one option is to go to a "flat" view of the Site Pages library and use Quick Edit to change the promoted state value from 2 to 0. The other is to start with a flat view and make sure to show Promoted State. Then, group by Promoted State. You can drag a page from one group to another and that will change the promoted state.
