    Go to the removal tool in Google Search Console. Enter the URL of the outdated content (page) you need to remove and click “Request Removal.” ...
    They'll analyze the page (URL), and if they detect it has already been taken down, it's a quick and easy process. Click “Request Removal.”

    Remove Outdated Content tool
    Update Google Search results for removed pages, images, or pages with removed content
    Overview
    Use the Remove Outdated Content tool to have Google update search results for pages or images that no longer exist, or pages that have removed important (sensitive or critical) content.

    Use this tool if...
    you do not own the search result page. (If you own the page, you can ask Google to recrawl the page or hide the page.)

    AND
    the page or image no longer exists or is significantly different from the current version of the page or image.
    Do not use this tool if...
    you think the information on the page or image is wrong, bad, illegal, etc. If you think the current information is bad, wrong, dangerous, personal, or harmful, see here.
    you are a verified owner of the page in Search Console. If you are a verified owner, use this tool instead.
    you want to permanently remove a search result for a URL that is publicly accessible. See here for more about removing information from Google and the web.
    you just want Google to recrawl a page. If a page has not been removed or had significant changes (removal of important images or critical information), then this request will fail. Here's how to ask Google for a simple recrawl.
    the information is still on the live page. If the page still exists, and if the information you want removed is still there, this tool is not for you. Visit the Google Search help center and search for "remove information" to see how to request removal of existing information from Google.
    Using the Remove Outdated Content page
    Understand what the tool is used for and what the tool is not used for above. (Hint: it will not remove a page or image that still exists and has not changed.)
    Open the Remove Outdated Content tool. You must be logged in with a Google account to use this tool, in order to prevent abuse.
    Enter the URL of the page or image in the required format.
    Click Submit. If the page or image still exists at the URL provided, you will be asked for additional information.
    After a successful submission, you will see your request added to the request history at the bottom of the tool.
    Periodically check back to see the status of your request. If denied, there will be a link to an explanation why.
    If your request is approved:
    If the page is no longer available, it will no longer appear in Search results.
    If the page is still available but changed, it will remove the snippet and cached result from Search results, but both will be refreshed the next time Google's crawler visits the page. Until that time, the page can still appear in Search results.
    Request statuses
    The following request statuses are possible:

    Pending: The request is currently being processed. Processing can take a few days.
    Approved: The request for update was approved, and should be live in Google Search results.
    Denied: The request was denied for one of these reasons.
    Expired: The request was approved but has expired. A request expires when either 180 days has passed since the request was approved, or the URL no longer exists.
    Cancelled: The request was canceled by either the requesting user or by a verified site owner.

    Google Search Console is updating the remove outdated content tool which allows site owners to request removal of URLs they don't own.
