If you have access to community then you can easily remove all the previous history from google search crawled using webmaster tool https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/url-removal?pli=1 . It will only take 12 to 24 hours. to remove those synced crawl from SEO.

To implement noindex:

<meta> tag

To prevent most search engine web crawlers from indexing a page on your site, place the following meta tag into the <head> section of your page:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

To prevent only Google web crawlers from indexing a page:

<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex">

    Hi Parshant,

    Thanks for your response and suggestions.

    I have added the below <meta> into the header part.

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

    If I want to add a separate <noindex> to the "out of the box widget"? how can I add?

    Please let me know the process.

    Thanks,
