Hey,

Looking for a bit of advice:

I've realized that my "blog"/"site" has a lot of irrelevant posts with a lot of irrelevant keywords that I no longer want. It's a wordpress blog that I'd like to transform in to a static page with just one 1000 word post instead of the 5 500 word posts it already has.

How can I go about deleting these posts without google caring?
 
What do you mean caring? As in hurting your placement in the SERPs for losing indexed content?

You can 301 redirect the unwanted pages to the new page. If you don't redirect the old pages, Google will see any links to those pages as broken and could penalize your rankings because you have broken links. There are multiple ways to do 301 redirects, depending on your platform. Just do a search for how to do it.
 
301 redirected them and deleted them. I kinda knew that, just wanted to make sure. Thanks everyone :)
