deleting a link
-
Hello,
I inadvertently posted a document with a link that needs to be removed. I have gone back and deleted it in the document section as well as the day it was posted, but other people are still able to access it. How can I permanently delete this item?The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What is the URL?
To keep things running quickly around here, files are held in multiple caches through a separate system. These caches are usually cleared within 3 days and the deleted files will then become 404 page not found.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting public blogs and/or blog content from them does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). 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):

Hi there,
I inadvertently posted a document with a link that needs to be removed.
What is the URL of the document? And which link do you want to remove?
Once I know more I’ll take a look for you.
Thanks!

When I visit that URL I see an error 404 page which says ‘File not found’. I am unable to view the document or find it in your media library.
but other people are still able to access it
Where are people still able to access the document?
