Site has indexed pages that no longer exist

    Is there any way to get a site validated if google still has a bunch of pages indexed that no longer exist? I've removed all the static html pages and replaced them with .php pages, but it won't let me validate the site as it keeps saying the html pages don't have the ads on them. I'm guessing this is because those static html pages are still indexed by google. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe you can go here to remove a page from google's index.

    Thanks for the help folks. I'd rather have the php versions anyways as they're easier to alter. I'll go through and get the old html ones booted out of google.

    Options +FollowSymLinks
    rewriteEngine on
    rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\. [NC]
    rewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.domainname\.com [NC]
    rewriteRule (.*) http://www.domainame.com/%1/$1 [R=301,L]


    I have used this for my own, for my subdomain pages to redirect them to where they are now. So i would preferably use a htaccess file instead of deleting them manaully.
