   Hello how can I hide/remove private posts/pages from the sitemap generated?

   Private posts should not be visible in the sitemap... Do you have a link to your site where I can see the issue?

   No 14. Example Page is a Privately Published Page.

   Haha... Should have thought of this earlier: log out and check again. You'll see that URL is no longer there :)

   When you're logged in, WordPress shows private pages and so does the sitemap. I could force them to be removed for logged in users too but it will not make a difference to search engines as they will never be logged in. At least, I hope they won't ever log in ;)

   You're right, if im logged out the private pages are not being shown.

   Thanks.
