Hi,

You can unindex pages and prevent them from being indexed by using your robots.txt file
Add the following in your Google Webmaster Tools > Crawl > robots.txt tester

for example:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /pathtofile/page.html

It will take anything up to a few months for Google to drop the pages you don't want in the search results.

If you need anymore help just let me or another member of the community know.

You can use Google URL Removal Page: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en

The clean way would be to 404 or 301 the pages then block any areas of the site with robots.txt.
