Google Indexing issue with Translate & Adapt language

We are experiencing an issues with thousands of pages not being indexed by Google due to 404 issues. Our website is:

https://greciancollective.com/

We had a Greek language translation done through the Translate & Adapt page which created a copy of all our pages with the “el” bit added to the url like this: https://greciancollective.com/el/collections & https://greciancollective.com/el/collections/aeolis for example.

This language has since been removed/deleted form our Shopify store and we don’t wish to have the translation, why is Google still trying to index these pages and how do we permanently remove them?

Hi @CostaEffie !

Google re-indexing will take a lot of time that is why they might not catch the updates on your store. I highly suggest that you reach out to Google Merchant Support so, they can further check this one on their end.

Thanks for replying, the secondary language was deleted almost 4 months ago, is that how long it takes?
