Can't delete or remove a copy of a pdf from being served up on the internet!
-
I have been trying to remove an unredacted copy of a lawsuit from my media library.
I have deleted it, but it still shows up on the internet:

2013/01/full-federal-lawsuit-12-31-2012.pdf – is still in your media library
how did you delete the file? if you deleted it from the Post but not the library it will still be in the media library – you need to go to the media library and delete the file there also
If you have just deleted it in the last few hours – it can take a while to be deleted from the server cache
NOTE – deleting files from here does not remove them from search engine cache’s – you will need to do battle with the search engines to have them remove them from their caches

Nope, I deleted it from the media library, and it did confirm deletion.
It just never deleted from being served up to the internet when that URL is put in.
http://garytrieste.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/full-federal-lawsuit-12-31-2012.pdfProbably it some embedded delay, but how long?
I just posted a viral video, and now a lot of traffic is coming that way via raw searches on the internet. -
I forget the delay time for clearing from the servers, but I have flagged this for the staff to double check for you

I have permanently deleted http://garytrieste.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/full-federal-lawsuit-12-31-2012.pdf from our servers. It may still show up in Google or other search engine caches, so you may wish to contact them separately.
For Google, at least, you can work from here:

JackieDana:
I checked shortly after you posted your message, and it did appear to be gone.
But, I just clicked on a link in a website and it is back again!!
The link is at the bottom of the page:
http://reyekomra.wordpress.com/tag/cps/Although, interestingly enough, when I manually past the address into my browser, it does appear deleted.
Is that some kind of hidden cacheing?
Weird. -
It’s caching on your PC / Browser or maybe at your ISP or a router somewhere – the file is gone – I get a 404 error

The image is definitely purged from our system, so it is likely cached somewhere between WordPress.com and your computer, or in your web browser.
You might try clearing your cache:
