URL not deleted from sitemap

#427665
  • I need your opinion on an important matter. In the sitemaps, there are URL addresses of the content I gave 410. How can I delete these addresses from sitemap? When I analyze in Semrush, it gives an error in the sitemap.

    I am also getting deleted URL addresses as an error in Search Console. These addresses were given 410 on Rank Math, but it still appears as an error in Sitemap and GSC.

    Hello,

    Thank you for contacting the support and we regret the inconvenience caused.

    We do not check redirection/status before adding URLs to the sitemap.

    However, I checked the affected page and it loads a 404 page. Please follow the below steps and see if that helps:
    1. Flush the Sitemap cache by following this video screencast:

    2. Exclude the Sitemap files of the Rank Math plugin in your caching plugin. The cache could be via a plugin or from the server. For plugins or Cloudflare, please follow this article:

    3. Clear your website and browser’s cache and check the sitemaps to see if the issue is fixed.

    Please let us know how that goes.

    Thank you.

    Hello,

    I have done all the steps you sent. I’m using Wp Rocket, I edited and edited httacces from there. I have submitted the sitemaps again. Error appeared again in GSC. I started the verification process, I think it takes some time. I checked the URL addresses in the sitemap from the incognito tab, the URL is not visible. I’ll wait for the bugs in GSC to be fixed.

    Hello,

    Sure, Google would see the changes once it crawls your website again.

    You can wait for Google to crawl your website again and see if the issue gets fixed.

    Hope this helps.

    Thank you.
