  The owner of Petra Organics™ wants this page deleted.

  This is the link:

  I have deleted it from my WordPress site and file library, but she still keeps complaining about it showing up on Google.

  Can you remove it?

  Thanks,

  Hi jacobfloor, that file is gone now for you. Let us know if you have further questions or problems.

  She, and you, may have to clear your browser cache to see that it is gone.

  It can take between 4-6 weeks before Google will recrawl and reindex a website. If you need it gone from Google before that, you’ll need to contact Google directly to have it removed. WordPressdotcom has no control over that.

  Have a look at this Google support doc: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en

  Cheers.
