  How to I get rid of my blog in search. I deleted the account, changed my name and changed it to private and it’s still showing up.

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

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting public blogs and/or blog content from them does not remove indexed content 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. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

  Also note that making blogs “private” does not removed any previously indexed content from search engines either. When the links are clicked the person will not gain access to the site.
