Removing content from Google

Posted by barb in SEO , Google

I'm working on a project where Google currently has over 9000 indexed entries,  most of which are comments on a K2 article accidentally left open to comments by the previous developer.

According to the instructions at Google Webmaster Tools, the "remove url" tool is not to be used except in urgent situations where private data has been shared and that using the "remove url" tool otherwise may hurt the site.

How then to get Google to crawl the indexed pages (which were removed months ago!)  and discover that they return 404 errors?
