I’m really sorry I was migrating the site to [moved to sensitive data section] which was a serious headache. and I read all what you explain but the problem is in my previous ticket which is closed:

let me go through my problems first [ my category pages were indexed and I don’t know how to deindex them, then after your precious and caring support I manage to do that but now the problem is as follows:

I deindex the categories like all of them
now the google has its data it is set to no index from my end but google has stored that URL into its database
how can I remove that or all those category URLs from google database like they don’t exist and google forgets about it any idea?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Rank Math and bringing your concern to our attention. I’m sorry for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you.

If you have set the category to noindex, you may need to give Google some time to recrawl your site and remove those category URLs on the search results pages.

To manually remove the category URL from Google, you can check this URL: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/remove-information and https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9689846

Also, Using a setting within the Google Search Console, you are able to have a URL removed from the Google index. This is a quick but temporary method. This article also shows how you can remove URLS from Google search: https://www.sistrix.com/ask-sistrix/google-index-google-bot-crawler/how-can-i-remove-a-url-on-my-website-from-the-google-index#Option-2-Use-the-Google-Search-Console

Hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to let us know if you have any other questions.

Thank you.
