Hello @Allison

Thanks for reaching out to us here. There is a guidance to do remove the outdated links :

Removing a Broken Link (Page Removal)
When a page has been removed from a website it will eventually drop out of our search index as we re-crawl the page and find it is gone. However, this re-crawl process can take time. The Content Removal tool allows you to notify us of the fact that the URL of the page is broken (404 - Not Found). If you submit a page removal requests, we will check whether the page is in fact no longer live on the web and if that is the case, we will expedite the process of removing the URL from our search results. If, however, the URL points to a page that is still live on the web, you are given the option to remove outdated cached content instead. If we are unable to determine either (for example, because we cannot connect to the server on which the page resides) you will not be able to submit a page removal or outdated cache removal request at this moment in time.

Steps to Submit a Page Removal Request
You can submit a page removal request for a page that is no longer live on the web (404) by doing the following:

• Go to http://www.bing.com/webmasters/tools/contentremoval and sign in with the account you use for Bing Webmaster Tools
• In the Content URL input box, enter the exact URL you found in the Bing web results (for example, by using Copy Shortcut/Copy Link Address functionality in your browser)
• In the Removal Type drop-down menu select Page Removal
• Click Submit

Page RemovalWhen you click submit, we will run a check whether the page is actually no longer available on the web. If that is the case, we will submit the request and add it the Submission History table. However, if we detect that the page is still live on the web we will prompt that you can only submit an outdated cache removal (see steps below).

Hope this helps!
