I'll be anxious to hear of the perfect solution, too, since I have tried and tried to use the webmaster tool in Google to remove about 100 pages myself. I've followed the directions to the T and the only thing it did was question existing pages and find even more. It's been a madhouse up and down cycle trying to get rid of things that don't belong!
One example/problem is a cgi-bin folder of stuff still showing up (was an affiliate program thing) that has not been anyway near connected with my one website for years! I've even changed hosting several times over. Got a sitemap in that lists "here's what I have just look at this" and the works, but still the issue remains of "lost pages" showing up and perhaps counting against me in the long run. Can't fix what you don't have or can't find. (I've tried every method known to mankind lol!)
Good Luck! I will watch this forum and pray someone has the answers
