How to remove subdomains from Google search results?
I have a domain, on which I used subdomains for translated versions of the site but I no longer use these subdomains. Subdomains still appear in search results, though. How do I request a removal? I tried to request Remove URLs but it won't let me request urls from subdomains. Do I have to add each subdomain to Search Console and request removal? I have also tried crawl and fetch as Google but that did not work. I still see the results with the subdomains, which are no longer being used, when I search in Google for the base url of the domain. Very strange. :1orglaugh Advice on this will be greatly appreciated!

Yes, you should verify subdomains. After that removal process will be easy.

Will give it a try these days. Thanks! :thumbsup

I have got another idea. Will wildcard Disallow from robots.txt on main domain work? Has anyone tried this? Something like this:
User-agent: * Disallow: *.domain.tld Also added 301 redirect in nginx config like so: server{ listen XX.XX.XX.XX:80; server_name *.domain.tld; return 301 http://domain.tld$request_uri; } Hope Google is smart enough. Has anyone had any similar experience? Care to share how it worked for them? Thank you! |

Already did the redirect but subdomains do not disappear from search results. Maybe I have to add them each one by one and request removal. Tried with some subdomains and they disappeared from search results but the rest, which are actually redirected, still appear. :1orglaugh Will wait to see when they will disappear because they are 301 redirected.

ok....for First go to google webmasters and then give a request to remove the subdomain url to remove. and Second put a disallow in robots.txt for the subdomain so this surely will help as what u require.

Yes. Looks like I have to add them all one by one and remove manually. Redirect does not remove them. Only redirects and most probably it will eventually remove them, but... Slowly. Thanks!
