Delete sitemap from new Google Webmaster Console - google-search-console

I need to delete in the Google Webmaster Console an old sitemap we don't use anymore and it's generating 404 errors.
My problem is in the new Google Webmaster Console I can't find the option to accomplish the delete (like in the older one). And there is no way to go back to the older Google Webmaster Console.
The official documentation was not updated either -> https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183669?hl=en
Here's a screenshot of the new webmaster console :
UPDATE Oct. 4, 2018,
Google added a link to go back to the previous version of Webmaster Console. So I did it and could delete the sitemap. Still not found a way to delete it in the new console.

They updated things since this question was asked. By clicking on the sitemap you want to remove, then click on the three dots in the upper right and select "Remove Sitemap."

Switch to old version, then you can delete sitemaps.
Still couldn't find ways to delete sitemap in new version.

EclipseMercurial Download

I am trying to find and download the EclipseMercurial plugin for Spring Tools, but every place I look I can't seem to find a way to download it.
The market place won't work and seems like every updated link I find for it is gone now.
On the market page, a guy is saying that the current place for the plugin is here and the update site.
Is this one a working solution or buggy too ?
I have managed to download and install MercurialEclipse using the following link:
https://foss.heptapod.net/mercurial/mercurialeclipse-updatesite/-/raw/branch/default
In Eclipse do the following:
Window->Install New Software
Paste the given link in "Work with" section and hit enter
Select "MercurialEclipse Stable Releases" and hit next
Click agree to the terms and conditions, it might ask you if you really wanna install and just click "Install anyway"

Update NetBeans manually

I'm using NetBeans 8.2, I would like to update the plugins, but the firewall at work won't let me, they cannot seem to figure it out at work, so I was wondering how I can update it manually.
I found this link : http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqDownloadingUCModule
But I cannot select my version there, the only version above 8.1 is dev, but when I select one of the options, I either get to a page I'm not allowed to access or a page mentioning : "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.
"
Is there another way to get the latest updates ?
Just applying the correct proxy settings should allow you to download directly within netbeans.
Otherwise try downloading the plugins via Plugin Portal.

google webmaster tools content keywords come from robots.txt

Strange thing happened today. When I visited google webmaster tools I found out that the content keywords are only three instead of (a lot that are actually on my website) and they are:
1. agent
2. disallow
3. user
And when I click on which one of the words, I get "found on the most popular page /robots.txt". I haven't done anything to my website or webmaster tools for a couple of days now, so I have no idea what could cause that.
Anyone with the same problem and solution? What can i do in situation like that?
This sounds like a temp bug in Analytics. Wait some days (or a week) and check again this.
Usually it is good to ignore what google webmasters tools says about keywords.
Share your robots.txt file (I assume there is nothing wrong there)

Joomla 3.0 SEF URLs sending to random wrong articles

My site eighttwentydesign is running Joomla 3.0. I have SEF URLs on, and have done for sometime without issue. But today when you go to the site, and click on anything, say portfolio you get the home page under the portfolio's URL, but if you add a leading slash at the end, the right article (portfolio) shows. Additionally, if you click on say "Web Design" it sends you to the Portfolio page. I might add this menu is a menu within Joomla - not be adding internal links manually
Doesn't work: http://www.eighttwentydesign.com/portfolio
Does work: http://www.eighttwentydesign.com/portfolio/
I have checked the .htaccess, and actually reverted it to the original with no luck, I have check Global Config but I can't see anything which may cause this. It was working nicely yesterday. I haven't adapted with any PHP source or anything in the past few weeks, the only notifiable thing I have done is yesterday enabling the Cache - have others experienced problems after doing this? I have disabled it under global config, with no avail.
Exact Joomla Version is 3.0.2 with very few plugins
I do have daily backups, but would rather a solution and be able to figure out a prevention from that, rather than just putting on a band aid.
I've search for a good couple of hours, and aside from just not being able to fix it, it appears no one else is experiencing this, so I am starting to think it may be a bug.
Just as I was about to post this I discovered my solution.
If you are having your SEF URLs display the wrong content then solve it by disabling the Cache plugin. You can do this by doing the following steps
Login to Joomla backend
Navigate to Extensions > Plugins
Go to "System Cache"
Disable system cache
I hope this helps someone in the future as I really struggled to find any answers on this.

Webmaster tool error on updated links

There was a page with the link http://www.xyzabc.com/exampleone . Then i updated the link as
http://www.xyzabc.com/example-one & this link is working fine now. But in webmaster tool errors still the "exampleone" link is showing 404error even i clear the error list. I made the update before 20days. still webmaster tool showing error. Can someone help us to know where we went wrong.
Thanks in advance.
Most likely your site hasn't been re-indexed by Google since you've made the change. You can use "Mark as Fixed" feature in Webmaster Tools (Diagnostics/Crawl Errors), which will remove the error from the list (but it will reappear if the underlining issue remains on next reindexing).
Pretty much the only way to speed up reindexing by google bot is to use Fetch as Googlebot/Submit to Google Index feature (which is only available if your site is added/verfied in Webmaster Tools already).
