404 link | How to remove the link so it is not found?

[SavingSense]

My report has listed a few links with 404 errors.  They are internal links but are not found.  Is there a way to remove that link so it is not found again?

Thanks

Not sure what you mean, but if you give us a url, i can find the 404s for you

For example if I had a site address as www.bad404link.com/wanttodelete/ and it went to a 404 page, is there a way to remove that page? So that search engines do not find it?

Yes remove any link pointing to it, if you do that it will eventually fall from the index, but will take some time.
If you have an external link pointing to it then it will not go away while that link exists, but in those circumstances you need to and want to 301 it to a relative page
