Unused pages show up in Google results

[Bas_1981]

Hello,

 

when I check my domain on google with site:[mydomain].com I see some pages that I don't use (like "stores") Should I simply delete them from the server or is it better to change my robots.txt and ad "disallow" for this page?

Changing the robots.txt file won't remove those pages from Google index. It will just ask Google not to crawl them anymore, but not to forget them.

Deleting the file from the server won't also change the situation

 

You have to insert this tag :

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

to let Google remove a page from their index the next time it crawl the page

Oké, thank you for your answer. I'll ad that tag!
