For example, you have a forum page (like www.yourdomainname.com/forum) and you have some broken links. So you need to remove broken links from Google index.

Firstly, you must create a robots.txt file. Open a txt file and copy under codes to txt file :

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /

Name  txt file as robots.txt send the txt file to FTP main directory. For remove Forum broken links (remember www.yourdomainname.com/forum) add this (“Disallow: /forum”) to your txt file. This was the first method.
