Is there any way to remove an old page from Google?

    So the problem is this:

    I have some old (non-existent) pages in google's index. I've tried to exclude them using their link removal... but i'm still in pendid status for over 5 days now (they see it will take up to 48 ours)

    I need to remove them asap. I have only PR3 so Google does not refresh often my index

    Is there any fast way to remove the old (non-existent in present) pages from the index...

    I don't want to use any FFA or other things that would get my domain banned

    Thanks for your time

    On a followup question, related to this;

    what is the longest you've seen non-existant pages remain high in the SERPs?

    With Google, did you try remove pages or subdirectories using a robots.txt file?

    I've used this twice in the last ten (10) days and pages were removed within 24 hours.

    That's the same system he submitted to five (5) days ago.

    It worked for me great.

    Make changes in robots.txt and also check backlinks of that particular page and change there. Give other page url there.

    You can do it from Google Webmaster tools and also by limiting robots.txt from crawling this page and both ways can take some times to be affected.
