Another approach is to ask the website owner to apply a particular meta tag to the page in the query that allows browsers like Bing and Google to “disregard” the landing page. The website still remains, but search results will no longer encoding it.

Also, you can de-index any data by using the URL Removal Tool in Google, Robots.txt, or Google advanced search operators.
