Link Follow - Finding Pages

Is it enough to delete a link that Googlebot no longer finds a page.

Hi guys,

I am thinking about a possibility to remove websites (not a whole domain) from the Google index without using noindex Tag or robots.txt.
Do you think this would work:
Replace all <a href links by javascript links.
Or does Google try to load these pages without links pointing to them, so that I would have to change the filename, too?

There is always a chance that they will index it without having any links to it, and even though you replaced all <A HREF with Javscript, which i don't see why (use META GOOGLEBOT NOINDEX, or use the robots.txt file)

There might be someone else linking to it, and then it doesn't help even if you have changed all the <A> links to Javascript one's.
