You can go to Google webpage removal request tool after signing with an gmail account. You will find a button called ''c create a new removal request'', enter the page URL you want to remove, tick mark the checkbox and click submit request button. After some days, your Broken page will be removed permanently.

Or you can add 301 redirection on your 404 page so that users won't leave your site.

Broken link is a link pointing to a web page which is not found on the web server. First analyze website and remove all the anchor text which link to the unavailable web page. If, you are unable to remove all the anchors then, you can redirect that web page to another which is relevant to the not found page.

You can use the Google disawov tool

For WordPress, there are two types of plugins that can be used to deal with those links:
Plugins that detect broken links in your site like Broken Links Checker.
