  The file will normally flush in 2 or 3 days from the cache, but i have flagged this for the staff to flush the file for you.

  Note that Google and other search engines clear their caches much slower and some never delete things. To completely remove the file you need to do battle with all the search engines and archive sites

  I have deleted the document at that link from our servers. If you clear your browser cache and then try to load it, you should receive a 404.

  Note that if the document is cached on Google’s end, you will need to contact them directly to remove it:
