How do I remove a URL from Google Search?

There are two approaches depending on whether the removal is temporary or permanent:

Temporary removal (~6 months)

Use the Removals tool in Search Console (left sidebar > Removals). Enter the URL and submit the request.

Permanent removal

Add a noindex meta tag to the page, or return a 404 or 410 status code. Then use the Removals tool to speed up the de-indexing.
