How to delete specific url?
-
I just ran drawl diagnostics and trying to delete pages such as "oops that page can't be found" or "404 (not found_ error response pages. Can anyone help?

If 404 error pages are found in a crawl it means there are internal links to these pages on your site.
If you are using Screaming Frog you can choose to export 'Client Error (4xx) in Links' under the 'Bulk Exports' tab at the top. This will show you where the links are coming from on your site so you can either remove the link or update the link to the new/correct URL.
I would also recommend 301 redirecting the 404 error pages to an appropriate page in case any external sites are linking to these URLs and to pass on any authority these pages might have.

I will try create a 301 page
Thanks dave!

You can use Google Webmaster Tools if you do not have Screaming Frog. It will show you where the link is linked from and how long it has been reporting a 404.
