 * Hi!
 * I searched my site on Google and there’s so many links that appeared that I’m
   not even using or doesn’t exist anymore. You can search: site:flexpacio.com flexpacio
   on Google and you will see everything. How can I remove those?
 * Also, I found this page: [https://flexpacio.com/portfolio-items/](https://flexpacio.com/portfolio-items/).
   How can I remove this?

 * The links you want removed are not included in the Yoast SEO sitemap index or
   any of the sub-sitemaps.
 * However, I do see that they are indexed by Google. As they currently return a
   404 Not Found status, it may take a while for Google to remove the URLs from 
   search results, depending on how often your website is crawled. So for now, we’ll
   have to wait for Google to crawl your site again. Sometimes you can speed up 
   this process as described in this KB: [How to update information in Google search results](https://kb.yoast.com/kb/fetch-as-googlebot/)
