Removing pages from search engine results

Hey everyone, I'm a bit new to SEO. I built a one page website that initially utilized several pages (but are now removed), and it looks as if Google has indexed those so that they show up as search results. Is there any way to remove those from the search results? Thanks.

Make sure that your server/application is sending correct 404 HTTP header on requests of non existing pages and wait.

Use a robots.txt file: Robots.txt

example robots.txt:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /url1.html
Disallow: /url2.html
