  I deleted my wordpress blog but this document is still available when you google my name. It is a really old resume that I would like deleted. Is it possible to delete content/files after you delete the blog?

  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. Moreover the URL removal tool cannot be used in cases like this. The URL removal tool is intended for pages that urgently need to be removed—for example, if they contain confidential data that was accidentally exposed. Using the tool for other purposes may cause problems for your site.
