  Right now my deleted site is showing up when searching for my company Padron Performance. My old link https://padronperformance.wordpress.com/ won’t go away.

  Can you let me know how I can redirect this to my new domain http://www.padronperformance.com/?

  or

  Can you let me know when this deleted site will no longer show up in a search? It is killing traffic for me.

  Thank you.

  Oh! I just noticed that https://padronperformance.wordpress.com/ has been deleted. You do not need a site redirect. You need to remove information from Google’s cache.

  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):
