    Hello,

    I can’t find a way to delete a pdf file from being searchable in google. I deleted the original file from the blog and even deleted the blog itself, but the file still exist in google search. The link to the file is this, http://warrenluo.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/warren-luos-resume.pdf

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks!

    That link produces a 404 (page not found) now. To keep things running quickly around here, files are held in multiple caches through a separate system. These caches are usually cleared within 3 days.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove any indexed items 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.
