Content from deleted site still accessible through Google
-
Hi there,
I deleted a site used as a class assignment from 2012, however I see a .pdf file from that site is searchable in Google. There is personal information in the document – something I don’t want public on Google.
How can I delete that .pdf file? Any thoughts?

Thank you!
Even thought the link is not found when I click on it, from Google, it’s still there when my name is searched.
Is this a Google issue?

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):
