How to remove deindexed pages from Google?

Hello,

I have several blogs, created by using wordpress and after some post I realized that Google is indexing all images, templates and other related stuff.

To avoid content duplication, after that by using YOAST I checked that these pages should not be indexed anymore...nevertheless after one month they are still visible on google.

Are these pages going to disappear from google automatically or should I do something more about it?

I guess you mean how to remove INDEXED pages, as deindexed ones are already gone
Update your robots txt to disallow robots for the folders you do not want (images usually not being one of them), then as poster above me said to go to search console add your site (verify through GA, GTM or html file upload) and then you can remove folders e.g. mysite.com/folderfrom the index, BUT you still need to change the robots.txt as otherwise they will eventually be indexed again.

Not really. That's why it strange. I marked all not required and duplicated pages as no index by Using YOAST SEO. Maybe it requires some time when it will gone, idk.
