  I am having trouble deleting content. I deleted my website, but the content in question is still live.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any 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. We cannot help with search engine issues. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en

  I submitted a removal request on Google, but it says the page is still live even though I deleted my wordpress page. Is this consistent with the page still in the SERPS, or does this mean the page is not actually deleted yet?
