: Is there a limit on directory removal with Google Webmaster Tools? Is there a limit on directory removal with Google Webmaster Tools? I have a bunch of directories that I need to remove.

You can do one thing, just note down the list of directories that you want not to be crawled by search spiders. One way is block those directories in robots.txt. In fact, you can use Google Webmaster Tools to remove such directories.

You have already done the best thing it seems. As long as links exist, Google will want to follow the link, however, blocking them in robots.txt is the best and fastest way to remove something from the SERPs. The Remove URL tool in Google Webmaster Tools is slow and relatively useless compared to robots.txt. But please know this will take a while. You cannot hurry Google up- you will only make them mad. You do not want a mad Google do you?? Be patient. It will work out okay. Not the end of the world.
