Hello Mr. tangor, I need your help,
A few months ago I have uploaded a new small website of 20 pages at that time I forgot to delete a folder and folder name is "revision". The folder was of another shopping website, In the folder have a .php page that was redirecting my website to another website pages. https://www.example.com/revision/index.php?id=996435
https://www.example.com/revision/index.php?id=986637
https://www.example.com/revision/index.php?id=987534
https://www.example.com/revision/index.php?id=989934
https://www.example.com/revision/index.php?id=990534
https://www.example.com/revision/index.php?id=991236 -------------these are 800+ pages.
On my website only 20 .html pages but now webmaster is showing 833 Valid - Indexed, not submitted in sitemap.
Now I have deleted this folder and set 301 redirection with 404 page. Errordocument 404.html
I think these pages are hurting my SEO, should I need to disavow these pages or use google URL removal tool?
please help me, I am very confusing.
