Is it possible to remove the noindex pages from the sitemap?

I just did an SEO audit on my site and the pages that I've selected to hide from search engines (by disabling the "Search Engine Visibility" SEO option) are still listed on my Sitemap.

Is there anyway that I can have those noindex pages removed from the sitemap?

Thank you!

  Hi Ada,

  Thank you for contacting us.

  If you’ve already set those pages to noindex, you can resubmit your sitemap in Google Search Console to help update Google. Please keep in mind that it may take some time to reflect in search results.

  A quicker way to block search engines is by adding this to your robots.tx file:

  User-agent: *
  Disallow: /page-to-exclude-1
  Disallow: /page-to-exclude-2

  This tells search engines not to crawl those specific pages.

  User-agent: * means all search engines.
  Disallow: tells them which pages to avoid.

  

  If you have any further questions, please let us know.

  Best regards,
  Ariel H.
