  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):

  Note that this site https://elmerarmstrongstributetotheplatterscom.wordpress.com/ has not been deleted.

  re: deleting sites

  To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com

  *Replace “NAME_OF_BLOG” with the actual name of the blog in the URL above.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account

  If the log-in information is lost you need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If you do not have the required access and someone else registered the site you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them act.
