  Hi there,

  I have deleted an old file off of my organization’s website. It is still showing up on Google, and I need it gone asap. I’ve tried looking into various support platforms, and nothing is really helping in an efficient manner. Do you know how to fix this in a slightly easier, less time-consuming way?

  Thank you,

  Rachel

  Hi there,

  @Timetheif is correct. There is nothing we can do – you must wait for the results to drop from the search engine. You can try the website removal request tool and request to have Google remove the website from their index.

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
