Hi - 

 

I audited/crawled my site and I just noticed I have duplicate pages of every single page on my site with "en-ie" in the handle. En-ie is the locale for Ireland. However, google is indexing some of them, and my auditing software is pulling up so many issues on those sites, and I don't know how to delete them or why this happened. 

 

I had one sale from Ireland a few months ago, but Ireland isn't in my locales folder on the backend (so maybe that's why the duplicate pages were made? Idk how this works lol). 

 

I have the Debut theme. I downloaded the Geolocation app a while back and I deleted the app yesterday in case it was from that.

 

I also put

 {% if handle contains 'en-ie' %}
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
{% endif %}

in my theme.liquid for now, but I'm not sure what else to do since I can't locate the pages to delete them. Some of them are now 404 as well. I've revised a lot of my site the past few days but I still keep getting error/issue notifications from my ahrefs auditing software from all the en-ie pages since I can't edit those ones. 

 

Does anyone know how I can get rid of them, delete them, find them, etc? 

 

Thank you in advance!

This is an accepted solution.

I figured it out. It was in Markets in my Settings. Ireland was chosen to create its own URL so I fixed it.

Here is my site for reference: https://theantiagingpro.com/

And an example of a duplicate: https://theantiagingpro.com/en-ie

Except that got rid of the duplicate pages, but now they are all 404. Will they eventually go away? Do I need to do anything to make them go away faster?
