  I deleted my site, but links to content still shows up in search engines. There’s nothing there when you click the links, but is there a way for the old content to stop showing up in search engines?

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting sites and/or site content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. 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):
