  Hi @apricotkernelsfromdayspring,

  I do not wish to take further my website in development so I want to delete it completely.

  You can do that by following the steps outlined here in this guide:

  At the moment it still comes up on a Bing search. How do I delete it, please?

  In regards to indexed content with Bing, according to their documentation, the re-crawl process will take time. If you’d like to expedite this process, you can submit a request with them and the changes should take effect within 24 hours of your submission. You can read more about this process here:
