[SOLVED] How to remove URL from Google?

When I was testing a revamped site, a lot of the URLs were

 

product.php?title=xxxx

 

which Google already indexed. Now, the variable (title=xxxx) have changed to (somethingelse=xxxx), if I try to Remove URLs (all links with title=xxxx) within Google, it is denied because they are still working links, where the page's php script will display it's own generic message and NOT as "Page not found".

 

How to remove the URLs from Google's index?

The problem was that google indexed a bunch of links that has properties and values in the url, that points to a php file, which the site has changed those values to something else, but the php filename has not change, google will not know that they should be removed from their index. I got it taken cared of by throwing in a header 404 if the properties are not correct.
