  I deleted my blog tillzier.wordpress.com a couple of month ago because I don’t want to use it anymore.

  However, it still appears in Google’s search results on page 2 if I search for “till zier”.

  Will Google remove tillzier.wordpress.com from it’s index sometime?

  Is there anything I can do?

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

  Deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any indexed content 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.

  When to use the URL removal tool.
  When NOT to use the URL removal tool.

  Thank you for your response!

  Since I no longer have access to tillzier.wordpress.com, how can I use the URL removal tool?

  Or asked otherwise – how can I get access to tillzier.wordpress.com again, to use the URL removal tool?

  I apologize because the answer is that you can’t do this directly. You will have to contact Google via your webmasters’ account and hope for the best. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/164734?rd=1

  But I don’t have the website listed in my webmaster’s account. :/

  I know that and using the message in the Webmaster’s account is all I can suggest. Note that unless there is confidential information like credit card numbers they will not remove the indexed content from the SERPS.

  Is there a Moderator or Admin in the forums who can delete this entire post?

  Or if that is not possible could you please delete all personal information (urls and names). That would be great!
