If the files "shouldn't be public" then they should be on the public internet. You can remove the files from Google listings (via robots.txt and other methods), but if the files are still there then anyone can still download them.

You should keep them behind some kind of authentication. For example, move the files out of the public web directory and serve them from a script that checks if the user is valid first.
