  I want to delete an online link to my file. e.g. https://ajahntechno.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/e0b8aae0b8ade0b899-bio-waste-lab-1.pdf
  How can I do that? I have deleted media files on my wordpress, but when I googled it the link is still on the web and I still can download that file. Thank you.

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

  The good news is that https://ajahntechno.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/e0b8aae0b8ade0b899-bio-waste-lab-1.pdf now produces a 404 file not found. Clear your browser cache so you are not viewing an old cached copy.

  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.
