  Hi! You have a couple of options:

  – You can bulk delete the content yourself

  To empty your site please follow the link below for a guide on how to do it.

  – If you are willing to wait, staff can empty your site content for you. If they do so, your content will NOT be retrievable. It will be permanently gone.

  If you decide to get staff help, make sure they see this thread by adding the modlook tag in your thread (add modlook in the right sidebar under tags). See the following link:

  Also, please subscribe to this thread so you know when they reply.

  *Note* Deleting blog content or making a site private does not remove indexed content from the search engine page results. Search engines typically 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 check out this link:

  Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  Thanks and have a wonderful day! 😃
