You remove it by linking on the page to a URL that does not contain those items.

It is links that define URLs. Change the links on the pages.

Next, set up a rewrite to connect those URL requests to the real internal server location that will server that content.

Finally, set up a redirect so that requests for old URLs are redirected to the new URL.

RewriteRule ^directory?catid=([^/]+)&Id([^/]+)/?$ /index.php?option=com_sobi2&sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=$1&sobi2Id=$2&Itemid=2 [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\?option=com_sobi2&sobi2Task=sobi2Details([^&]+)&catid=([^&]+)&sobi2Id=([^&]+)&Itemid=2\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ [localhost...] [R=301,L]

I have this rewrite, but nothing happend. ?

can anyone help me.. iam a beginner.

I can't say I understand the problem well, but the first rule needs a RewriteCond to check and back-reference the query string:

RewriteCond %QUERY_STRING ^catid=([^&]+)&Id=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^directory?$ /index.php?option=com_sobi2&sobi2Task=sobi2Details&catid=%1&sobi2Id=%2&Itemid=2 [L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\?option=com_sobi2&sobi2Task=sobi2Details([^&]+)&catid=([^&]+)&sobi2Id=([^&]+)&Itemid=2\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://localhost/directory?catid=%1Id=%2? [R=301,L]

It is likely that at least some details are still incorrect...

I have than 2000 url. any idea?

The code above has a rewrite and a redirect, with the redirect listed last.

Correct operation occurs with the redirect listed first.
