Few months back I moved from subdomain to directory structure...

rewriteCond %{http_host} xyz\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/xyz/$1 [R=301,L]

Now problem is both files are indexed by SEs..

xyz.example.com/file1.htm
www.exampe.com/xyz/file1.htm

Using URL removal tool i removed all xyz.example.com files from Google (temporarly deleted the subdomain)..

Problem is still I am getting some traffic to xyz.example.com so i cannot delete it permanently..

Is there any way to remove urls from yahoo and msn?

If I put a robots.txts with Disallow / on my xyz.example.com will it work?.. since it is redirected when i put a robots file it is coming like

www.example.com/xyz/robots.txt...

Is there any other way to solve this problem?

Why does the current situation present a problem? You've done right, and you have a 301 redirect in place, so I would just let it alone and let Google and the others sort it all out on their own schedule. And as far as I know, only Google offers anything like the url removal tool.
