My site recently got a Japanese attack. However, I shifted that site to a new hosting provider and have removed all data from there.

However, the fact is that many Japanese URLs have been indexed, similar to these.

So how do I deindex those thousands of URLs from my website?
 
Since those Japanese URL's are already indexed, you need to clean them up carefully. First, make sure your new site is verified in Google Search Console. Then, use the Removals tool to temporarily hide the unwanted URLs. Make sure the old URLs return a 404 or 410 error, so Google knows they're gone. Submit a fresh sitemap with only your real pages to help Google recrawl your site. Keep an eye on the Search Console coverage report and remove any remaining unwanted URLs as needed.

Thanks ChatGPT. But if I use the removal tool from the GSC, then I have to submit each link one by one. So it would be very hectic for me since there are thousands of links that I want to deindex from my website.
 
Please wait for couple of weeks. It will be de-indexed automatically.
 
The trick is to get the spam links deindexed while your site links remain indexed. Check if there is patern(s) that can capture all spam links using wild chars
Example
Your domain.com/4724*
This will deindex all the links starting with 4724 while other will not.
If you can't do this then 2nd best option is get the whole site deindexed and then reindex your links.
I don't know if there a third party removals tool as previous post says.

URLs are like domain/?p=1822191

So i just submit the domain/?p= URL in GSC removal tool? And it will deindex all of them?
 
You can make them disappear temporarily for roughly 6 months from Google results when you go on GSC. If they have a common prefix, you can deindex all of them at once.

Google will deindex them automaticly after a period of time, but if you use GSC suppressions, it will remove them instantly from the results, which is a better practice to avoid users finding those URLs in SERP.
 
Make sure those thousands of Japanese URLs now return a 404 or 410 status code on your new host. This is the strongest signal to search engines that they are gone. It will take some time for them to process and remove those entries from their results, so patience is key. Just ensure the server response is correct for all those old, unwanted pages.
 
Just delete the pages first and make sure to update your sitemap (if any) with them removed and Google bot will recrawl to find them dead then they get deleted from the index. While you wait you can search your database for these types of links and give them specific url prefix and submit it to Google for deletion
