Something new on Google Webmaster Tools: The URL console (which you could use to remove (your) URLs from the Google-Index) has been integrated into Google Webmaster Tools (formerly Google Sitemaps):

You need to have access to the site’s robots.txt or put a noindex meta tag to remove the URLs from the Google Index. But at least it got easier to accomplish this job as the URL console tool was a little difficult to finde and a little awkward to use.

Google writes:

• Ensure requests for the page return an HTTP status code of either 404 or 410.
• Block the page using a robots.txt file.
• Block the page using a meta noindex tag.

But be careful! Your content will be removed for 180 days! This has not changed!
