  Hello guys,

  I really need some help to solve my problem. Today i deleted my wordpress site cause i am not using it anymore. One of my classmates was telling me he wanted a document removed from the site cause it was one of the first things that came on top of google, if you typed his name. I really want this file deleted but i don’t know how.

  Please help me.

  Kind Regards,

  Mike

  Hello Mike,

  Could you perhaps give me the name of the site you deleted and share the link of the document on google you’re referring to?

  It takes about 3 days for a media file to be removed from the WordPress.COM cache

  However deleting a file or site from WordPress.COM does not remove the file from search engine results – the file will be cached for some time by the search engines – you will need to do battle with Google and the other hundreds of search engines to have the file removed from their indexes
