  I would like my files to be deleted in a way that they can’t be cached by search engines.
  Thank you!

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

  That’s not possible unless
  (1) the blog is private and the content is not indexed by search engines – see option 3 http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
  (2) or the content is not posted to the internet.

  Bulk deletion > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit

  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.

  Thank you very much!
  Your advice has been very useful. I’ve changed my privacy settings and now it works.
  Thanks!
