What is Disavow?

A file you give a search engine asking it to ignore certain links to your site.

In more detail

It is rarely needed. Search engines say they discount most spammy links on their own, and a careless file can discard links that were helping.

Example

After a manual action about unnatural links, a site documents its efforts and submits a disavow file for the domains it could not get removed.
