: How to tell Google that I have changed my website URLs? I have done major updates to my website, and renamed all my URLs. How can I tell Google that I have renamed these URLs and let Google

You can also use Webmaster Tools to remove the previous URLs from results. Go to Site Configuration -> Crawler Access -> Remove URL.

I was having the same problem as you. I had uploaded the new sitemap but the Google results still showed the old pages weeks afterwards. I used the "Remove URL" tool on all of the old URLs, and by the next morning a Google search only showed the new pages.

Do 301 redirects from the old URLs to the new URLs. This will tell the search engines and users that the pages have moved and where they are now. This also associates the old URL with the new URL for Google which means all of your old incoming links will now be associated with your new pages.
Submit an XML sitemap in Google Webmaster Tools
Make sure you have an HTML sitemap. This is good for users and search engines.

You can register your Site at Google's Webmaster Tools. There you can tell Google if a page of yours changed. Of course it takes a while until Google updates its search result set.
