Are you actually returning a 404 for those pages or is it returning a 500? And what errors is Google Search Console actually throwing?
It could be that there is a page linking to one of your other pages, but by just returning a 404, it should be fine. Maybe you are able to send over a few of the urls that you are having problems with?
Google Search Console nodes without a template
Hi,
I'm having some issues with Google Search Console throwing errors on content nodes without a template.
These content nodes are excluded from the sitemap thus not present and they all have a noindex meta-tag. How can I stop Google from following these?

It throws a 500 error on these nodes.
I assume that you are using Umbraco 9 then? There was an issue created for that here: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/issues/11846. So after updating to 9.3, this should be fixed.
