Deleted blog still shows up on google?
-
I used to have a blog with WordPress, but I deleted it a few weeks ago. I know it’s deleted because when I am in my account, it shows that I currently do not have any blogs. However, when I search my name on google, the blog and all of the posts that were in it still show up. How can I get the blog to be completely removed/deleted?

It will show up on Google for about six months, unless you contact Google and ask it to be deleted. And if you, it’ll show up on Yahoo and Bing and so on until you contact each of them and ask them to delete it and they comply. And I swear, I don’t think Yahoo China ever deletes anything, ever.

There’s nothing I or wordpress can do then? I just checked, the blog isn’t on Yahoo or Bing or anything else, it’s just google.

There’s nothing on WordPress you can do. If it doesn’t show on those other engines, you’ve dodged a bullet. Google is quite surprisingly helpful on deletion requests. Contact them via their Help feature.
