  Again:
  I deleted my blog schumachersilke.wordpress.com
  completely. And now there is no way to delete http://schumachersilke.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/dvnlp-gewalt.pdf from the media library. I deleted it from there and wordpress told me the media library was empty after that. But it is still there and I find no way to delete that file from the wordpress server.

  Since that is rising a legal problem: Would please help my somebody? It is urgent. Does somebody know how to contact the wordpress staff ?

  That link does not produce a 404 (page not found). To keep things running quickly around here, files are held in multiple caches through a separate system. These caches are usually cleared of 404 files within 3 days.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove any indexed items 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.

  I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. Please subscribe to the thread so you are notified when they respond and please be patient while waiting.

  Hi there,

  I’ve gone ahead and deleted the file for you. Please do note that it may take some time for it to disappear from the search engine results. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks!
