Remove Options Page Submenu Item

I’ve create an options page called Page Content. There are 3 sub options pages that Page Content is parent to.

The Page Content options page does not have custom fields. It is just the container for the 3 sub options pages.

In the admin the fly out menu displays Page Content even though it is also in the main sidebar menu.

I need to remove the Page Content sub menu since clicking on it takes you to a blank page.

Right now I have:

Page Content
— Page Content
— Home
— Our Resorts
— Vacation Planner

I need it to be:

Page Content
— Home
— Our Resorts
— Vacation Planner

I don’t want to use CSS. Is there a function I can use to remove it?

I’ve tried remove_submenu_page('add-page-content','add-page-content'); but no dice.

I’ve also tried:

add_action( 'admin_init', 'wpse_136058_remove_menu_pages' );

function wpse_136058_remove_menu_pages() {
    remove_menu_page( 'admin.php?page=add-page-content' );
}

Nada

Thanks!

Set the redirect argument of the parent page to true https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/acf_add_options_page/
