Deleting files to remove website
-
Although the home page appears to have been deleted (https://hamiltonprimetimers.wordpress.com/), there are still other pages that return on a Google search such as https://hamiltonprimetimers.wordpress.com/about/. Can you help me remove all these files so the site no longer appears?

Howdy,
I recommend you set the site private, so that others (including search engines) won’t have access to it.

Thanks Chris, but since the homepage seems to have been removed, clicking on “My Site” only allows me to “create site”.
To me, it looks like WordPress needs to purge old pages, but in the mean time?????

It looks like you made it “Hidden” rather than “Private”. It’s best to go for the private option if you no longer want it to appear in search results. You can change it via this link:
https://wordpress.com/settings/general/hamiltonprimetimers.wordpress.com
Scroll down to “Privacy” and select “Private”.
Pages will also be cached by Google but you can submit a request to them to have the information removed:
