How to cancel Disavow request with Google?

[elzorro]

Because a mistake I submitted too many links to Disavow Links tool in Google and that affected to my website rankings on Google. I want to cancel links that I submitted with Google. Is that possible? if yes how can I do that?

Just remove that links and re upload the new list. Hope this will help you.

1. Delete your disavow file
2. Submit a new request. When you submit a new disavow request, your old request will be automatically cancelled.

You can remove the file, but there is no guarantee that it will make a difference.

This is why I tell people you shouldn't mess around with a Disavow file unless you really, really know what you are doing. You are more likely to hurt your rankings than to help them.

Disavows are instant death situations. The sad thing is that it can take longer for the same links to reappear on search at a later date.

Google themselves say it requires caution - see their Disavow guide here https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/2648487 - but there's no clarity on how to un-disavow.

I suggest you try these options:
1. Remove the file and wait a few days
2. In a few days re-download the list of links and check if the links you wish to keep are there (if not, bad luck!)
3. After that upload a fresh file

The reason for the few days wait is simple - Google takes time to do these things.

The inbound links section is not reliable because they continue to show disavowed links there.

The list of links in Search Console won't change. When you submit a Disavow file, they don't remove links from that list. They are still there no matter what.

Frankly, you never know which links Google decided to let you disavow and which they are still counting.

I searched answers for this question and a few posts and people said Google will update links in new file.
Why you suppose it will not change? I'd like to hear your experience if you faced this problem and ever submitted new file to disallow tool before?

I'm not talking about a new file.

If you log in to Search Console there is a section titled "Links to Your Site". If you submit a disavow file that contains any links from that list, it does not remove the links from that list. They will still show up under the "Links to Your Site".

Disavowed or not, they still show up.

You are right on this and I tried to remove links with disallow links tool and they are still there but seem rankings are affected by the removal.

Simply download the file you have uploaded in google disavows tool and make modification in it and then upload it again.

At googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2012/10/a-new-tool-to-disavow-links.html Google talks about how to undo links disavowed (though they talk about specific links in the file, not undoing the entire file)
