How to Remove URLs from Google in Bulk

Updated October 2026 · v1.0.1

The Removals tool in Search Console hides a URL from Google results for a limited time. It does not delete the page from your server, and it does not noindex it.

URLSweep is a free Chrome extension by Pick Ads that builds a list, lets you filter it, and submits temporary removals in your signed-in Removals tab. Free includes 20 completed removals per property. The URL list stays on the device.

Get URLSweep for Chrome

Submit one removal yourself

Learn the dialog on a single URL before you automate it. Google changes the labels.

  1. Open Removals. In the Search Console property, open the temporary removals tool.
  2. New request. Paste one URL. Choose the scope the dialog offers, usually the URL only unless you truly want a prefix.
  3. Confirm. Submit it. A prefix removal hides more than the one address. Read the scope twice.

Queue a reviewed list

URLSweep opens the new-request flow for you. You still need the Removals tab open and signed in.

  1. Paste, upload, or import a sitemap. CSV, TXT, a paste, or a sitemap. Filter before you remove.
  2. Preview the scope. URL only versus prefix is the dangerous choice. Preview the matches.
  3. Start, and pause if the list looks wrong. Free stops after 20 completed removals on that property. Premium continues and can save a CSV status report.

A removal expires

  • Temporary removals are not permanent. Google’s help describes the current duration. Plan a real fix before they lapse.
  • Close a feedback dialog if Google opens one. The extension cannot finish a request you have to dismiss.
  • URLSweep is not affiliated with Google.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this delete the page?

No. It asks Google to hide the URL from results for a while. The server still has the page unless you remove it there.

Can I remove a whole folder?

Only if you deliberately choose a prefix and you understand every URL under it will be hidden.

Where is the indexing tool?

Requesting indexing is GSC Index. Do not use a removal when you want a page to show up.
