Pages I don't want

[grobro]

Hello Friends,

A few days ago, I set up my wordpress site and everything is great so far, there's just one small problem. Wenn I search for site:mysite.com I see a lot of pages in the index I don't want to have on my site. It looks like demo pages from the theme I bought. Examples:

http://mysite.com/themefusion_es_groups/group1/

http://mysite.com/slide/youtube/

http://mysite.com/lorem-ipsum-2/

http://mysite.com/slide/demo-5

What would be the best way to handle it? Simply delete the pages, then a soft 404 shows. Delete the pages and 301 them to the start page. Are they disapearing from the infex then?

I am very grateful for tips regarding this!

Thanks in Advance:)

Generally I just delete these type of pages and let them go away over time naturally. I can't imagine Google would prefer any other way. They're junk & it shouldn't hurt to remove junk from your site.

Delete the pages and if they are still showing up in Google's index 301 redirect them to home.
