  There are three urls that show up in my google search and are still live, but that are not published on my page through wordpress. How do I get rid of them? I have made a request through google webmaster but it has been denied.

  Hi laurenezellyoga,

  Those are attachment pages for images which have been uploaded but not attached to any page or post.

  If you don’t want them to show up the best thing would be to go into your WordPress admin section, then under Media. Find the three images in question and then you could delete them.

  If you still want the images uploaded but just not visible I believe you could do the following.

  Create a new page
  Set the visibility of the page to private or password protected
  Insert the images to the page

  This would attach them to a page so those urls you posted should stop working, but the page is private so they shouldn’t be visible to anyone else like Google.
