Some of our old Netlify builds (from 2018) have started to be indexed by Google.
Since these have legacy products, support & legal terms this is creating significant headaches for teams across our business.
Please can someone from Netlify delete the previews in this image. We’ve updated future builds with a script to safeguard against this, but we can’t retrospectively rebuild every deploy.
If it’s indexed by Google, you’d probably have to add your website in Google Search Console and tell the Googlebot to remove it from index. Sadly, there’s nothing Netlify can do to control it.
This isn’t an issue that can be solved through Netlify. You can block URL’s of old deploys through Search Console (formerly Webmaster Tools). This article from Google describes this process.
Hi, @edfryed. There is no way to delete an individual deploy. The only way to delete a deploy is to delete all the deploys by deleting the site itself.
If you need to do this for an existing site, the typical workflow is to make a new site and them move the custom domain from the previous site (to be deleted) to the new site.
Once this is done, the previous site can be deleted. This deletes all deploys for the site in question.
I do see there is a support ticket about this as well. Please do reply either place and we will be happy to provide more information about this issue.
We have the same problem and thought I could add password protection through access and security but it’s paywalled… and there’s no pricing, just an upgrade button…
But that button just sends me to a lead form with no pricing:
So it sounds like “Sadly, there’s nothing Netlify can do to control it.” isn’t really true. It seems more like you are using it as a tool to get us to upgrade to the highest level price (and if that requires a call, it is probably not cheap).
How much does it cost to hide our old preview builds from public view (add passwords on non-master builds)?
Pricing is available on the pricing page
In December 2020 it was not possible to delete old preview deploys. It is now possible to delete a deploy if no longer required. Automatic deploys older than 90 days are deleted too.
This is simply false.
Can you paste the pricing here? When i view the pricing page there’s no pricing for the plan that lets you do this! On my page it’s showing “contact sales” only:
You’re looking at Enterprise plans only. Try looking at the Developers and Teams section.
Right, that’s why i shared screenshots…
Only enterprise edition has that feature.
Then you have your answer. Contact sales.
That is literally what i said in my first post, and you disagreed… so i’m glad you figured it out!
I didn’t figure it out. You did. Bravo 
Ironically, it actually does sound like you didn’t figure it out. My question was about pricing for a feature because sales form doesn’t have it and all your replies missed the key detail in my question.
Not that you’re of any help here, but the form does not work. I’ve inquired about enterprise many times in the past.
Of course I didn’t. I didn’t have to. I knew the answer in the first place. I was trying to help you figure it out for yourself. You clearly haven’t.
The only people that can answer this question are the sales team. Enterprise agreements are individual not a one-size-fits-all deal. You’ll find hints at the starting price of such an agreement in these forums should you care to look.
Then you should know the drill.
This is a completely separate issue. Perhaps you could open a new topic in Admin to report this issue so Netlify can address it.
