  I’ve definitevely deleted a meda file from the library, but the file is still attainable by the originary URL, and it’s stil visible on Google research. I urge to delete the file permanently, so that non one can catsh it on the web. This is the URL of the file: https://ancllivorno.files.wordpress.com/…/x4u6lafedepubblica7ng3.pdf
  Can You help me? Thank you very much.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Not without the actual full link.

  Note that deleting a file does not remove it from any search engines. You generally have to wait up to six months for them to remove it.

  Can you still see the image in your media library?

  Keep in mind that Google keeps cached files for quite some time. We don’t have an effective way to delete what search engines have published. If the picture has been removed from your library, then its link will return a 404 not-found error unless someone views a cached version—Google will eventually get rid of the link.

  @raincoaster—
  Either I’m up too late or too early! Cats as alarm clocks are as difficult to reset as Google is…

  Ok, I’ve RISOLVED. Now the click on the google link redirect on “404-no found error“. I still viewed the file on my PC, probably in order of a cache-copy. I’ve realized that from other internet access points, the file can’t be viewed any more.
  However, thank you very much for care!!
