      We owned 2 sites, with the pages on Site A all linking over to similar pages on Site B. We wanted to remove the links from Site A to Site B, so we redirected all the links on Site A to the homepage on Site A, and took Site A down completely. Unfortunately we are still seeing the links from Site A coming through on Google Webmaster Tools for Site B.

      Does anybody know what else we can do to remove these links?

        Google often has a long memory.   You removed the links, now you have to wait for Google to forget them.  It might take weeks, but more often it will be months.  I've seen things in Google Webmaster Tools that are over two years old.
