Remove all versions of AMP content, including AMP and non-AMP
This section describes how to remove all versions of AMP content from Google Search, which includes AMP and non-AMP pages.
To remove AMP and non-AMP pages from Google Search, follow these steps:
Delete the AMP and non-AMP versions of the page from your server or CMS.
Use the Remove
outdated content tool to request the removal of your page. Enter the URLs
(web addresses) to your AMP and non-AMP versions of the page that you want to
remove.
Remove only AMP pages, while preserving the canonical non-AMP pages
This section describes how to remove only AMP pages from Google Search, while still
preserving your canonical non-AMP pages.
To remove the AMP version of your page from Google Search (while preserving
the canonical non-AMP page), follow these steps:
Remove the rel="amphtml" link from the canonical non-AMP page in the
source code.
Configure your server to return either an HTTP 301 Moved Permanently or 302 Found response for the removed AMP page.
Configure a redirect from the removed AMP page to the canonical non-AMP page.
If you want to remove an AMP page from non-Google platforms in addition to
removing from Google Search, complete these steps:
Remove your AMP page so that it is no longer accessible by configuring your server to send an
HTTP 404 Not Found for your removed AMP page. This ensures that the Google AMP Cache
doesn't serve stale content to other platforms.
If you want to keep permalinks active, configure your server to send
an HTTP 301 Redirect for your removed AMP page to your canonical non-AMP
page.
Remove AMP and non-AMP pages with a CMS
Generally, CMS providers publish AMP and non-AMP pages at the same time. To
remove a single page, unpublish or delete the page, which removes both the AMP
and non-AMP versions of that page.
Delete a single page
To delete a page and stop publishing it in both its AMP and non-AMP forms, use
the CMS interface. Check your CMS provider's help page for details on how to
stop serving AMP:
To disable AMP, check your CMS provider's help page or contact your CMS provider. If your site is
hosted on a CMS domain, the CMS can redirect users to the canonical non-AMP page after AMP
is disabled. If the redirect doesn't occur, contact your CMS provider for assistance.
