As the title suggests, I recently disavowed some bad links but till this day, I can still see them in Ahrefs.
How long does it take for them to disappear?
 
They will not disappear from Ahrefs as the links are still live... You should also be aware that Google now sees anything submitted to the legacy disavow tool as a "suggestion" only, so do not take it for granted that it will help your site recover. However saying that, I still see good results when I use this for my clients, but I also do a few other things at the same time to help them recover.

Woow,that's good to know.
 
They would soon be removed , don't worry !

But according to fasttrak these links don't disappear in Ahrefs since they're still alive. Is your assumption based on a previous experience?

If a link is still live, Ahrefs still sees it and shows it in your domains dashboard/link profile. The only way to remove it from Ahrefs view is to have the link taken down by the website owner. This is really basic SEO.

Google has a separate database to Ahrefs, they are different companies with different crawlers and databases. As long as you see an improvement in your traffic after you have disavowed with Google, that is all that matters. Who cares what Ahrefs shows.

The links I'm talking about are like this: iesofstudy.blogspot.com , inho.blogspot.com , riber.blogspot.com and so on.
I got like 100 of them, all subdomains on blogspot.com and I don't know who the hell sent them my way.

For that, there's no way I can have the site owners remove them.

You can contact Blogspot and ask for them to be removed.

All sites get a ton of these links every day, I only ever disavow if I see traffic dropping or see that it is part of a Neg SEO attack. Forget what Ahrefs shows and focus on Google. Ahrefs will not increase your traffic, Google will.

If you do not like the blogspot links, contact blogspot. If you feel they are 'actually' damaging your traffic, disavow the root blogspot domain with Google. If you don't like what you see in Ahrefs, use the filter to improve your view!
