What do you want to happen? If you delete the pages that Google links to, the Google links won't work anymore. Are you asking how to handle visitors when they go to the missing pages?
ASKER
Yes,if i delete then the pages that are indexed in google , find by users and encounter with error 404.
What do you mean "find by users" ? If the page is missing, the 404 should be the default status code.

And if i make noindex for these pages,does it need that i delete these pages from my server?
ASKER
It is clear that if i put noindex in pages and then delete the pages google cannot see its, i forget to write "delete after some weeks" .
