Google indexed a directory

    OK, I had an error on a page (since fixed) and instead of linking to my articles.html page it linked to the articles directory.

    Google appears to have followed and indexed that error and now my articles directory shows up on Google.

    I fixed the error when I first found it; yet, Googlebot still visited it last night. Just doublechecked the files the bot visited on that cycle and all were

    correctly coded.

    Is this something that will go away on its own, or should I ask Google to remove it? Is it better not to draw attention to it with Google and just leave it?

    Any thoughts?
