Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rank Math, and sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Please note that if the tags were indexed before you set them as noindex, it will take a while before Google removes them from the index.
As far as Rank Math is concerned, you need to ensure that the noindex tag is correctly working. You can do so by checking the page source or using a 3rd party testing tool:

If the noindex tag is present, there is no much else you can do to speed up the process of getting the pages removed other than placing a removal request.
To remove a page from Google, you will need to remove the page link from the Google cache by following these steps:
1). Login to the search console and head over to the remove outdated content page.
2). Enter the URL (web address) of the page that has the deleted content you want to remove.
3). Select Request removal.
If you see the message “We think the image or web page you’re trying to remove hasn’t been removed by the site owner,” follow the onscreen steps to fix this.
4). If you see the message “This content is no longer live on the website,” select Request Removal.
We hope this info helps. Thank you.
