Hello to everyone. In my website I had some posts which I've deleted them, I had some pages and categories which I deleted them either. So basically all those links have a 404 code. I can see that on google webmaster tool. However I've put to those links a 301 redirect code, to be redirected on my homepage. But I want to remove that 301 redirect code and deindex those links. Any solution how can I do that? I google those days for a solution but with no result. I wish to you guys all the best
When you remove the 301 redirect and let the URLs run into a 404 not found error, Google will eventually remove the URLs. It may take several months to get this accomplished, but it will work.
Google webmaster tools provides an option to remove URLs from Google index. Check the following help articles from Google https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2010/03/url-removal-explained-part-i-urls.html
