If you don't want Google to index certain pages, you're best off adding them to your robot.txt file. The sitemap is just a guide, and leaving out certain pages does not necessarily mean Google won't index them.

Hi there,

If you don't want Google to index certain pages on your site then you should block them using robots.txt. You can also de-index them via Google Webmaster Tools. You can find more info on this here: http://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt

If necessary you can then create a new sitemap and submit it via GWT.

I hope this helps.

Hi,

Thanks a lot basically I have big number of  pages and some of these pages does not appear in google search result so i thought to minimize my site map and submit just important pages

If you're looking to highlight your most important pages to Google you could consider using the priority tag. There's more about this here: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183668?hl=en&ref_topic=6080646&rd=1

Hi,

Thanks but also if I have loads of pages millions of pages that might effect Google indexation for example Google will not shows all my indexed pages in search results so that why I am thinking about resubmitting site maps with just important stuff also I cannot prevent pages if i want disallow from robbots I have loads of pages I do not want to focus on so any body can tell whether this right
