Hi Paul,
Thanks for getting in touch with us.
Please open the seo-by-rank-math folder using FTP and delete all the files inside sitemap-cache folder.
That will update the sitemap cache and remove the deleted pages from the sitemap.
If you would rather disable cache using PHP code, you can use this filter: https://rankmath.com/kb/filters-hooks-api-developer/#enable-disable-sitemap-cache
Make sure to change true to false to disable cache.
Hope that helps and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Hi, I’m having the same problem, my Sitemap is giving an error.
Sitemap could not be read
General HTTP error
1 instance
We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.
Examples
HTTP Error:
404
When I go to the folder you mention to delete cache, there is nothing in there. Can you help, please?
Thanks
