it takes time and perhaps you can ask your web hosting to reset web caching or any proxy server.
hope it helps

Hi everyone, new to the group, thanks for having me :D
I'm getting some strange behavior from the Google Webmaster Tools
Crawl Errors and I was hoping someone can help me out.
Google is reporting many 404 errors for my site for pages that don't
exist anymore due to site structure changes. About 6 months ago, I
changed from html to php and also changed the naming convention to use
"-" instead of "_" word separator. The structure changed drastically
enough that I could not simply use htaccess for rewrite rules. So I
did some research and people said that after a while of reading 404
errors, google would drop the pages. Well, here we are 6 months later,
google keeps re-indexing the bad pages!
Here's one specific example:
Bad page:
http://infrared.com/applications/preventative_maintenance.html (has
not existed since about 04/30/09
Pages that link to http://infrared.com/applications/preventative_maintenance.html
:
URL Discovery Date
http://www.infrared.org/applications/preventative_maintenance.html
Sep 23, 2009
http://infrared.com/ Jan 15, 2009
The strange thing here is that http://www.infrared.org/applications/preventative_maintenance.html
HAS NEVER had a link to http://infrared.com/applications/preventative_maintenance.html
Whats more is that http://infrared.com/ has been re-indexed several
times and still this error shows.
I have also used googles manual link removal tool on this link, it
said "removed" but it still shows up in crawl errors...
Other strange Errors: This one was just discovered 6 days ago
Bad page listed in crawl errors (returns 404 header):
http://infrared.com/index.htm
Pages that link to http://infrared.com/index.htm:
URL Discovery Date
http://twitter.com/infraredinc Oct 2, 2009 <-- link to
http://infrared.com/index.htm is NOT on this page!
http://twitter.com/InfraredInc Jun 20, 2009 <-- link to
http://infrared.com/index.htm is NOT on this page!
http://www.infrared.com/ Oct 16, 2009 <-- link to http://infrared.com/index.htm
is NOT on this page!
http://j.yofsarseo.com/km Aug 17, 2008 <-- returns server not found
http://infrared.com/site_map.htm Nov 19, 2006 <--This page DOES NOT
EXIST! Returns 404 header
I know these pages are returning proper headers from the header addon
for firefox.. but just to show you i've pasted in one of the results.
