How does one remove ones Business Website from Google/the web?

[cessna]

Due to winding down my small firewood supply business ,I wish to remove my website from Google and ideally completely from the web. Have any of you successfully removed your website from Google etc, I appreciate it must be very difficult /almost  impossible to get ones website completely  removed  from the worldwide web,  and the the Woodsure  organisation.  In "theory"  due to the freedom of information act if one asks an organisation to remove ones details they should but in reality  how does one ever get to know if they actually have?   In reality I don't think  one will ever know.😠

You can do all of this in google console. Do you have google webmaster set up for your site

Ps, if you take your website down the listings will be removed automatically over time

Personally I think it's better to redirect to something which says you've closed rather than just disappear. Danger is people keep on looking and find old links.
