How to remove spam backlink?

Marketing

I want to remove spam backlink from my website. I disavow that spam link to google but it still there.

You mean an incoming link from another site?

The best course of action is to ask the site to remove the link. If they won’t do that, then the “disavow” tool lets you ask Google to ignore that link for SEO purposes. It doesn’t remove the link.

I disavow this link in robots.txt but still it’s there.

That’s not what the article @TechnoBear linked to suggests you do. Did you read the article?

That makes no sense.

robots.txt advises search engines which areas of your site you do not wish to be crawled. You cannot use it to block incoming links.

To disavow a link, you need to use the process set out by Google in the link I provided above.
