Well Guys! I think Google Really wants to keep this thing secret. I have looked all over the place trying to fid the best way to remove things from google. Things like old site links that throw upi 404 pages and removes you from Google search engine if you have too many dead links. Incredible that a simple 404 wouldn't just remove this on the next crawl.
Well anyway. What you need to do is the Following:
Create a robots.text in your domain root and put:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /**directory**/
(directory is the directory that contains the bad link/pages)
If your using the root and have dynamic links I suggest creating a robots.txt file containing all the links. this is easy if you just download them all from google in webmaster tools. and then add "Disallow: /" to the beginning of each link.
You need to then request google to crawl your site again and presto! If all goes well on the next crawl your bad links should be gone from the Google data base. But this also stops Yahoo and others from trying to crawl this bad links.
This may work straight away. But if not Google has a removal page: (The hardest damn thing to find on Google)
http://https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/removalsHere you can remove anything that you have blocked in the robots.txt file. Or before submitting all the bad links to Google make sure you make atleast a 301 redirect otherwise google will deny your request.
Pending removal requests will be processed as soon as possible. Successful webpage removal requests will show a status of "Removed" and will be excluded from Google search results for 90 days. Successful SafeSearch removals will be excluded from Google SafeSearch results entirely. If your request is denied, click on the "Learn more" link for detailed information about why the removal was unsuccessful.

Why was my request to remove information that's been blocked from Google denied?
Answer will be like this:
Your request has been denied because the content hasn't been blocked with the appropriate robots.txt directive or metatags to block us from indexing or archiving this page.
If you own the site, please review our guidelines for removing content from Google's index. If you don't own the site, please contact the webmaster to request the use of a robots.txt directive or metatags to block us from indexing or archiving this page. If you can't contact the webmaster, please select an alternate removal option from the webpage removal request tool.
There you go. If anyone else has anything else to add fell free to post it.
