I have decided to put a robots.txt file on my domain to disallow the listing of pages in a certain folder on my domain. However, some of the pages are already listed in Yahoo searaches, and I figure that creating the robots.txt file will not cause those existing listings to be removed. I want to find out how to get the existing listings removed.
wow! Best credit !

The listings will disappear in time.
Now you can contact yahoo but that would be useless and tedious, you don’t know when they will actually remove them from the database.
If you’re using robots.txt (which is a good thing) they won’t be reindexed, and will gradually fade out of the system.
What you CAN do meanwhile is simply change the location of the sensitive files. Doesn’t have to be big, add a letter in a folder for example. Then renew all the links in documents with search and replace in your hmtl editor.
