Basically I deleted some of my posts to make my blog more niche oriented. However I see a lot of 404 errors and I want to remove all these files from google index.

Thanks

There's a plugin called 404 to 301 if you're using WP. That'll redirect all 404s to a page of your choice.

redirecting 404 via 301 will result in "soft 404" in WMT. I don't know if that affects rankings.
