How Blank Pages Are Found
To remove blank pages from PDF files, each page is looked at as a small picture and the amount of ink on it is measured. A page with almost nothing on it is marked as blank.
Scanners often add the empty backs of single-sided sheets. They are rarely pure white: there are specks, a shadow at the edge or a faint show-through from the other side. The Recommended setting ignores those, while still keeping pages with real content.
Nothing is removed until you agree: you see the marked pages first and can change any of them.

Empty reverse sides of sheets.
