Is there an easy way to hide one of your URL's on google search?, rather than redirecting?

We don't want to redirect to a different page, as some people still use it, we just don't want it to appear in search

One alternative to the "noindex" directives described below is to instead implement a canonical link tag to an alternative page you would prefer to be indexed for the same content. This would only be relevant if there was another very similar page. And, it would not be as strong of a directive as the "noindex", so I would not use canonical if it's extremely important that it not be indexed, like perhaps some sensitive info.

If you do go the NOINDEX route, then I would suggest, after you verify it has been properly implemented, to use the removal tool in Google Search Console. It technically isn't needed, if you have the NOINDEX directive, but it is usually recognized more quickly, and won't conflict. And then, once the page is out of Google's index, the next step (and only after it is removed and has the noindex tag), is to disallow crawling of that page in your robots.txt file.

Depending on  the strength of the page, Google's indexing of the noindex tag can take between weeks and months to recognized.

Adding "noindex" meta tag or disallowing the page from within robots.txt will do the trick.
