Removing indexed pages from Google search

Please check this line of code. I added it in .htaccess file to serve 410 HTTP error. Note: I`m doing this so Google can remove indexing of my old domain. RewriteEngine OnRewriteRule .* - E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%HTTP:AuthorizationRewriteBase /RewriteRule ^ - L, R=410

Michael Martinez: I don`t understand why you`re setting an environment variable if you want everything to return a 410 status code. Are you still running PHP on the site?

Tanzeela Ashraf: Michael Martinez And because Google is saying this
Michael Martinez: I don`t see the connection to my question.
Tanzeela Ashraf: Michael Martinez After took down my site from the server I thought that Google will remove my indexing from the SERP but Google didn`t. Now it`s been 2 weeks.

Then I again just install a WordPress to put this piece of code in .htaccess file.
Michael Martinez: Tanzeela Ashraf But why are you setting an environment variable?
Michael Martinez: If you want everything to return a 410 status, this would be a simpler rule:

RedirectMatch gone "/*"

Or maybe:

RedirectMatch gone *

Haven`t tried that yet.
