Completely Removing Content from deleted site
-
I created a blog called Bettie’s Bazooka under the url bettinapavone.wordpress.com. I ended up deleting the site so I could create the same thing under the url: bettiesbazookablog.wordpress.com. This blog was for my marketing class in college, and the goal was to get the blog the page rank. My issue is, I can’t get bettiesbazookablog.wordpress.com to rank because Google is still finding my blog under bettinapavone.wordpress.com. Is there any way you can prevent this from happening?

https://bettinapavone.wordpress.com is no longer available.The authors have deleted this site.
Start publishing frequently so your new site’s indexed content has the opportunity to outrank the old one in the SERPs.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

Thank you for that link. The issue with that is, I have to verify ownership of the page by uploading the html code google provides, which I cannot do because the page has been already been deleted, and wordpress will not let me access it again. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hello bettinapavone!
If the site was deleted you can’t verify the ownership. Now, you can either wait for Google to delete the search reference for your old site, or you can try their tool on the link below:
