Deleting pdf

Hello,
I though I had deleted a pdf on my blog but it still appears on google. How do I permanently delete it?
Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Zoe,
If you have only just recently permanently deleted the PDF it will likely still be in Google’s cache, and that can take a while to clear.
When you click the link you see in Google it should redirect to your 404 page (not found), is that the case?
You can to request a removal of the PDF using Google’s “Remove outdated content” tool: https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6349986?hl=en.
Also; make sure you don’t have any internal links to the removed PDF on your blog.

Hi there,
Please give the link here, and we can make sure that the file has been completely removed from our servers. But as @henriettestewart said above, only Google can remove it from their cache and search indexes.

Hi there,
That file is still present in your Media Library as you probably removed a link and not the actual file. To completely delete it go to your Media Library (https://wordpress.com/media/) select it and click on the trash can icon.
