Google Merchant Center has outlined two methods for removing “Found by Google” products from feeds in a recently updated help page.
The first method involves using attribute rules to set the “pause” attribute on specific product groups, which will automatically archive after 14 days.
The second method uses the data-nosnippet HTML attribute on websites to block unwanted products from being crawled initially.

Additionally, products can be archived directly from the product list within Merchant Center.
