: How do I remove my own filterby or sortby pages from Google Search? My site has filterby and sortby pages that appear in Google Search and I want to delete them from Google. Such as: http://example.com/product-category/de

@Heady270

There are at least two solutions.

Use robots.txt

User-Agent: *
Disallow: *filtering=1*


or maybe just *filter*

Use Search Console URL Parameters:

Add the parameters to your Google Search Console account for the site. In this case they are "active parameters" and you want to set Google to crawl "No URLs". You can add the following parameters for that URL:


filter_hard-drive-type
filter_ram-capacity
filtering
filter_rating


If all your filter URLs use the filtering parameter, it should be enough to set just that one.

I had the same conclusion, this section of the search console seems to be useless.

If those url are still reachable but you no more use those url (url migration) it will be easy : just use a 410 gone in your htaccess file and google will remove them after few times.
