  Hi there,

  Search engines like Google keep a cache (copy) of the sites they index. In most cases if the content is no longer online it will be removed from the search results within 4-6 weeks.

  If you use Google Search Console you can see this guide on removing old content:
  https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663691?hl=en

  If the content falls under Google’s removal policies you can request is be removed by following this guide:

  We do not have control over what content shows in Google. You may need to reach out to Google directly.
