Remove content from someone else's site
If you want to report content that you believe warrants removal from Google's services based on applicable laws, this tool will guide you through the process.
Also, check out our guidelines for keeping personal information out of Google search results.
What content do you want to remove from Google's search results?
Request removal of an entire page
Request removal of the cached version of a page. Do this when the latest version of the page is live on the web, but the old information is still visible in Google. For example, say you have a page that lists your office address. When you move, you’ll want to make sure that the out-of-date cached version listing your old address is no longer visible in Google.
Request removal of an image
Request removal of Google-hosted content (YouTube, Blogger, etc.) for legal reasons
The sites in Google's search results are controlled by those sites' webmasters, not by Google. Google’s index reflects the content on the web. Removing a page from our search results doesn’t remove it from the web, and people will still be able to see that page by going to it directly or via another search engine.
What does this mean for you? If a site is publishing objectionable material, you can:
Contact the webmaster and work with them to get the problematic content updated or removed.
Work with the appropriate legal authorities to get the content removed from the web.
Once the changes have been made and the updated pages have been crawled by Googlebot, we will update our index to reflect those changes. There may be a short period when out-of-date content is still visible in Google. In this case, we recommend requesting removal of the cached version of those pages.
