  Hi, I recently deleted an old WordPress website but it still shows up in a Google search and when I click the link I see: ‘[website] is no longer available.
  The authors have deleted this site.’ Is it possible to delete this record from Google so it doesn’t show up in searches? Thanks!

  It’s possible. But you must make a request to Google yourself at https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9689846?hl=en. You could also just wait till Google crawls your site again.
