  My wordpress site is deleted but it seems like google still as a cache version of the site that lets you read everything. What should I do?

  Hi there,

  Please also note that when you delete a site, it can take search engines 4-6 weeks to update their search indexes, so your site may appear in search results until they “catch up” but the site is no longer online, and all existing links to pages/posts have been invalidated.

  You should also not be able to visit the site directly now that it is deleted. If you still see it, you will want to clear your browser cache by following the steps here: https://wordpress.com/support/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache

  Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
