Removing dead links from Google Custom Search Engine

Some clients have asked how they can remove dead links from their google custom search engine backend to make sure these links are not just floating around on the internet and have asked for our advice. How do we go about doing that?

I was able to find an answer! Google Custom Search Engine pulls from Google’s index, to remove these links, clients will need to remove them from Google’s index as well.

Here are instructions from the source on how to remove those links: Remove pages on your site from Google | Google Search Central  |  Documentation  |  Google Developers
