Add this line of code in your .htaccess.
Code:
Redirect 301 /old/old.htm http://www.domain.com/new.htm
Remember to use old file/folder name or path
without http://www.domain.com and new file/folder name and path
with http://www.domain.com
I guess, i don't need to mention that you should upload your .htaccess in ASCII mode. It is very important.

When I say replace old links, I mean removing all links to old-page.html from your website and replacing it to new-page.html
Also, you can delete old pages right after you done setting up 301 redirect.
