Remove non-indexed pages from Google Search Console

Tags: Google, Malware, Security

Hi Everyone!

I have a website that got hit by malware attack, and I noticed thousands of pages appeared and indexed in my Google Search Console. I checked my wordpress website with a security plugin and it showed me some hacked files. I deleted them using cpanel, but the pages that are appearing only in GSC can not be removed and google is still crawling them. Can .anyone tell me how to remove these pages from my GSC/

To remove the hacked pages from Google Search Console (GSC), start by ensuring your site is fully clean using a security plugin. Then, use the Removals tool in GSC to hide the unwanted URLs temporarily. Next, create a clean sitemap and submit it in GSC to guide Google to your valid pages. Finally, use the URL Inspection tool to request reindexing for your cleaned pages. I applied these steps to my site after a malware attack, and it successfully resolved the issue. Let me know if you need help!
