    All you can do is get the backlink removed from the website that it is on. You need to contact them. There is no tool for that.


    The Google disavow tool does not remove a link, it just tell Google that they should ignore it.

    Disavow Toxic Backlinks:

    Create a Disavow File: For backlinks that you're unable to remove manually, create a disavow file containing a list of URLs or domains you want Google to ignore. Google provides guidelines on how to create and submit a disavow file.
    Submit Disavow File: Use Google's Disavow Tool within Google Search Console to submit your disavow file. This tells Google to disregard the specified links when assessing your website's backlink profile.

    The best way to do this is by disavowing them, this way you're telling Google that these links don't belong to you and Google should ignore them. The tools you can use are several like Moz, SEMRush, or Ahrefs. I personally use Ahrefs, it's easy and has huge data. You can easily buy such tools from group buy, there are a lot of platforms providing this service now a days.

    Unless you own the domains the links are on, you cannot remove them.

    I wouldn't worry about them. Every popular site will attract them. Google generally just ignores them, so you don't have to do anything.

    You dont need to.

    In most cases, Google can assess which links to trust without additional guidance, so most sites will not need to use this tool. Google works very hard to make sure that actions on third-party sites do not negatively affect a website. - Google Webmaster Blog
