Remove products from your account

All products expire from your Merchant Center account 30 days after the last refresh. Products can be refreshed by re-submitting your product data source or scheduling regular data source uploads. Google will also regularly check your website and refresh your products automatically if the product data can be validated, for example, by the crawling of schema.org structured data on your product landing pages.

You can remove product data or specific products from your Merchant Center at anytime.
