What should I do if Google Search Console can't find my 404 page?

I used Google blogger and obsidian to blog before, but the article links generated by these two are no longer usable. When I open them, I see the ghost 404 page, but Google Search Console shows that the reason why the page is not indexed is “Not Found (404)”. How can I permanently delete the 404 page? There are so many of them, and I don’t need to jump to a new link.

Well typically you make redirects for pages or posts you delete, otherwise they will be a 404 because other sites may link to them and those would constantly come back.

To be more clear you need to explain what the 404 was for, if a post you deleted or renamed (changed the slug to)

I don’t want to redirect them, I just want to delete them permanently. Submitting the deletion in Google Search Console is too slow. Is there a faster way?

Its Googles index you have to follow Googles means, this means you have to submit them and then wait. Why are you panicking over removing them fast if nothing is going to them?
