Directory Indexed in Google, that I dont want, How to remove?
-
Hi
One of my own websites, having a slight issue, Google have indexed over 500+ pages and files from a template directory from my eCommerce website.
In google webmaster tools, getting over 580 crawl errors mostly these ones below
I went into my robots text file and added
Disallow: /skins*
Disallow: /skin1*Will this block Google from searching them again? and how do I go about getting the 500 pages that are already indexed taken out?
Any help would be great

That will definitely work, it will just take a few weeks for Google to re-crawl the site and remove these urls from their index. Sit back and relax... the job is done!

Hi Gareth
Thanks for that, I did think that is all it would take, but just wasnt sure if their was anything else I could have done to help remove all these pages from the index. The website has under-gone quite a big change in last few weeks with many of its pages being removed, so hopefully google will soon update its index.
