Remove entry from user's rss reader

I realized pretty simple atom feed in my application. Sometimes records expire and are no longer published in the feed. Is there a way to remove entry from user`s reader?

Solution

  • If you used GUID/ID* elements in the feed, then posting a blank item with the same GUID as the deleted post will update the post in Google Reader with the blank content.

    Whether any other feed aggregators will update the post ( or even cache the old posts to begin with) is up to them.

    • GUID for RSS 2.0 , ID for Atom
