What is the best way of deleting unwanted links?

    Hi guys, we are considering of changing the domain name of one site. The reason is that the previous guys working on this site auto submitted it to Baidu, and as a result we have about 1000 unwanted links including porn sites on this search engine. The links on all the other search engines are ok.Please make clear to me a few things:
    1. What is the best way of deleting these links? No question about contacting them.
    2.By changing the domain without using a 301 redirect probably means that all these links will eventually be deleted, but also the same will happen with all the links from the other search engines. Is there another option of keeping specific links?
    3. I am pretty sure that the links from a specific search engine do not affect at all your picture on other search engines. Is that true?
    4. Is 301 redirect the most appropriate action that decides if the links will be passed to the new domain? And a nofollow or restrict robots the opposite?

    On the condition that number 3 is correct, some people might say what do you care about this search engine since all the rest are ok. We just want to make things right. I have searched for these kind of answers before my post, obviously not a good search if they have been already answered, sorry.

    To find unwanted links created by range Names:

    1. Select a cell in the sheet.
    2. Press F3, and click Paste List.
    3. Check the list, and identify any defined Names you want to delete.
    4. Press Ctrl+F3.
    5. Select each Name, and click Delete (you cannot delete all of them at once).

    To find unwanted links:

    1. Press Ctrl+F.
    2. In the Find box, type a [ (every externally linked formula has a square bracket).
    3. Start the search, and delete any unwanted formulas (carefully!).
    To check the Edit Links dialog box:
    1. From the Edit menu, select Links.
    2. Select the source workbook whose links you want to delete, and then click Change Source.
    3. In the folder, select the workbook you are currently working in (that is, link the workbook to itself), and click OK.

    I think what the poster is asking is deleting unwanted backlinks but your reply seems not related to the question. It seems your reply is related on excel file.

    By the way my answer to poster question is you can't delete the unwanted links unless you have access to the site. I think you're right on creating new website with new domain without redirecting the old site to new site. But it means that you have to build links again.
