Some basic information to get you started with this can be found here.

Remove all http://www.example.com but keep http://example.com without www – SEO

I changed my URL from http://www.example.com to http://example.com expecting some time where Google would update. Also I made redirects in .htaccess from www traffic to non-www traffic.

However I still see est. 2500 links in Google using the www after almost two month and most of them are now outdated links so this means that the user is ending up on the frontpage.

I am considering to request Google to remove all the http://www. links to solve the 404 problem.

But is this recommended and how do I do it?

    No it is not recommended. But you can accelerate the process by submitting a sitemap with the http links to your pages and a recent lastmod date. It will force Google to recrawl these pages and notice the 301 redirects.
