  Hi there, after you delete your site, WordPress.com has no control over when search engines will stop indexing it.

  Google however does offer a form to request deleted content to be removed from their search engine listings: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6349986?hl=en

  However, in terms of how long it will take, that is not known and WordPress.com is not in control:

  The content is still accessible through Google because Google has stored it in its cache. Over time, Google’s crawlers will realize that the site has been deleted and they will update their listings. You can read more about how this works here:
