Deleting my site
-
Hi!
If I delete my site does that also delete the files in my media library? -
Yes, but it will take up tp 3 days for the media cache to be cleared and the images will still appear in Google and we can’t help with that.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and /or indexed content in them does not remove it 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. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
