      I am using shopify and I need to delete some old pages which are coming up as 404 errors (product no longer available!) does anyone know where you go to delete these pages which are no longer needed?

        I would have thought that if you are getting 404s instead of product pages, those pages were already deleted!

          If you no longer carry that specific product, you can redirect the dead URL to a collection related to that product on your website. If there is no related collection, then redirect it to your homepage.

          Read Shopify's instructions on how to do a redirect in there platform here: https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/migrating-to-shopify/considerationsd
