  Hi,

  I’ve deleted a site without emptying it first. Is there anything I should be worried about concerning my content on the site?

  No. Once you delete a site that content is gone and Staff cannot recover it for you.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting sites and/or site content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. 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):
