Hello, I’m sorry to hear about the issue you’re facing with deleting articles from your website.
If you’ve used the 410 Content Deleted feature in Rank Math to mark the articles as deleted and then removed them from your website, you have already taken the necessary steps. The 410 status informs search engines that the content has been intentionally removed.
Since you have already marked the articles as 410, you can safely ignore any 404 errors related to these deleted articles. In a future update, Rank Math will make changes to better distinguish these errors.
If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask. Thank you for raising this concern.
