Deleted blog files still on search engine
-
Hi, I deleted an old blog post a year ago but the pdf files in that blog post still show up in search engines. I checked my Media > Library in my blog’s dashboard and the pdf files are not their too. What can I do to remove these files from the internet?
Thank you
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Please post the URLs.
To keep things running quickly around here, files are held in multiple caches through a separate system. These caches are usually cleared within 3 days and the files will then become 404 page not found.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove any indexed items 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.
