  I am trying to completely delete my page and I can not figure out why the instructions that I get, none of that applies to my page. Its not as simple as just going to my dashboard, tools, delete site.

  If you want to permanently delete your site, follow the guide below:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/

  Please read the warnings and advice before deleting a site, as we can’t revert a site deletion for any reason.

  If you want to hide your site instead, you can use the following guide to make your site private so only you and other members of the site can view it when logged in:

  If you’re having an issue, confirm the address of the site in question, and I will expunge it for you.

  Yes please expunge. I no longer use wordpress. I want it completely deleted. It’s the first link that pops up when searching for my business name on Google. Thank you for responding!!!

  Deleting blogs and blog content does not remove any indexed content from display in 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: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
