Put your website in maintenance mode.

Keep it like that forfew weeks all pages will de index slowly.

Then you can start fresh.

But this bothers me:

Never happened to me so IDK if you can re verify and add it back to your GSC or not.
 
You can use Webmasters Tools to remove the whole site. Just use the remove subdirectory option, all pages under that should drop out.
Or
Setting up an HTTP status code of 410 instead of 404 will make it clear to Google. Wait for few days for Google to recrawl your site to discover the 410 code, and it remove the page from its index.

In my opinion, Submit the removal request on Google Search Console !

Delete the website, make sure all the links lead to 404 not found and it will be deindexed over time, but this might take a looooong time...

Its better to remove it manually through the GSC in-built Removal tool.
 
remove webpages from search engines, you can use the .Remove Outdated Content tool in Google Search Console or submit a removal request to the individual search engine.
 
OP, please note that the answers supplied above apply only to content on YOUR site.

If anyone is reading this thread and wondering how they can 'remove' content about their site located on other sites, one key solution is to RANK content you control (posted outside your site) HIGHER than the pages mentioning your site/brand.

Ideally, push them to the middle area of the second page of Google search results for your domain/brand/personal name. You can (figuratively) HIDE A DEAD BODY in that spot (and lower spots)!

How do you delete someone else's website that could be bad or involved in scams?
 
Try to use the "Remove URLs" tool in GSC to request removal of any hacked pages from Google's index.

Search Console > Index > Removals and choose "Temporary Removals."

Submit individual URLs or a full directory of URLs that you want to remove

After that, create a new, clean sitemap that only contains your legitimate pages.
Then submit the new sitemap to help Google index only the correct pages.
