Jane redirecting is a good idea. Google will eventually figure out the old pages are no longer there and they'll get dropped from the index, but it could take a few months.

Better to do the redirect anyway since you'll keep the benefit of any incoming links to the old pages.

You want to do what's called a 301 (or permanent) redirect. How you do it depends on the type of server you have.

I wrote a post awhile back on 301 redirects and there are links in the post to other sources that can help you set them up.

Hope it helps.

More to the point is why are you asking the question in the YAHOO forum ??
