Question 'Force' Google to remove non-existent pages


Every time I run the Google webmaster tools and I check for page errors with the Web Crawl, Google repeatedly lists the same seven pages and subfolders that haven't existed on our website for at least two years.



These are the 404 error pages it lists (removed 'http://www.' to prevent links):
  1. endoscopy.com/ess01/sx030002.htm
  2. endoscopy.com/ind/choosing_a_borescope.htm
  3. endoscopy.com/index.html
  4. endoscopy.com/med/index.htm
  5. endoscopy.com/products/ess_ent-p4.htm
  6. endoscopy.com/products/forceps_graspers_retrievers.htm
  7. endoscopy.com/products/medcartscabinets/
Is there any way I can get Google to stop trying to index these pages/folders? I had tried adding them to the robots.txt with no luck. As I said, they haven't existed on our webhost's server for at least two years, maybe more.

Any ideas/links I can try to use to correct this? It's getting quite frustrating!
