# 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.

## **1. Remove All Versions (AMP + non-AMP)**

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- Use Google’s **Remove Outdated Content tool** to request URL removal for both versions.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.

## **2. Remove Only AMP Pages, Keep Canonical Non-AMP Live**

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.

## **3. Remove AMP Content Using a CMS**

### **Delete a Single Page (AMP + non-AMP)**

- Use your CMS interface to delete or unpublish the page.
- This removes both AMP and non-AMP versions.
- Check your CMS provider’s documentation for exact steps.

### **Disable AMP Site-Wide**

- 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.

## **Additional Notes**

- 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- Monitor removal status in **Google Search Console** (AMP status report & Remove outdated content tool).
