How to Remove AMP Pages from Google Search

Page Types Recap: #

Canonical AMP: Only AMP page exists and is canonical.
Canonical non-AMP: Both AMP and non-AMP versions exist, non-AMP is canonical.

Use this if you want to remove the entire page, including both AMP and canonical versions:

Delete both AMP and non-AMP pages from your server or CMS.
Use Google’s Remove Outdated Content tool to request URL removal for both versions.
Update the Google AMP Cache to clear cached AMP content.
Verify removal by searching on Google and monitoring the AMP status report in Search Console (look for decreasing indexed AMP pages).

⚠️ Caution: Users might see errors temporarily during removal.

Use this if you want to remove AMP pages but keep your regular site live:

Remove the rel=”amphtml” link from the canonical (non-AMP) page.
Configure your server to respond with HTTP 301 (Moved Permanently) or 302 (Found) for the removed AMP URL.
Redirect the removed AMP page URL to the canonical non-AMP page URL.
If you want AMP pages removed from non-Google platforms too, serve HTTP 404 (Not Found) for AMP URLs to avoid stale cache issues.
Update the Google AMP Cache to clear AMP pages.
Verify removal via Search Console and Google Search.

Tip: If you want to keep the AMP URL live but redirect, use HTTP 301 redirect to canonical non-AMP URL.

To remove all AMP pages, disable the AMP feature in your CMS.
This usually redirects users automatically from AMP URLs to canonical non-AMP pages.
If redirects don’t happen, contact your CMS provider.

When deleting AMP pages, ensure your server responses and redirects are properly configured to avoid indexing issues.
Always update the Google AMP Cache after removal.
Monitor removal status in Google Search Console (AMP status report & Remove outdated content tool).
