  I migrated my blog https://ericasrecipes.wordpress.com to a self-hosted WordPress.org https://ericarecipes.com years ago, but some posts from the original still show up in google search (example: https://ericasrecipes.wordpress.com/2013/05/02/crab-stuffed-crepes/). How can I hide the site? I’m afraid to outright delete in case any links and such get broken.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  You have already hidden the site by setting it to private. Clicking on the link you provided either directly or via a Google search just goes to the private front page. Only deleting the wordpress.com site would (eventually) remove the link from Google completely .
