    Hello everyone,
    I have questions about a url. The urls that i am having problem include * and c symbols.
    1- what is the meaning of that asterix * in a url and how can i remove it?
    2- And i found out c is a url parameter. And i decided to delete them because they were causing indexing problems. I clicked legacy tools (search console), url parameters and i added an additional url-prefix property to be able to use the legacy tools. It said "go to property" at the end. Later i reseted two url parameters that have been saved on Search console, legacy tools and reports, url parameters. I made this two days before. But they still can be seen in the links and it is like i didnt remove them. Besides they are still saved in search console.
    How can i remove them? Thank you.

    Asterisk (*):
    • Wildcard in URLs, often for search/filtering.
    • Can't remove directly from GSC.
    • Use canonical tags or robots.txt to control crawling.
    Parameter (c):
    • Resetting in legacy tools takes time for Google to update.
    • Consider "noindex" headers or crawl-cleanup plugins for faster removal.
