  Hi there,

  I started a WordPress blog (aspoonfulofsweetener.wordpress.com) the other day before moving to a self-hosted site. I then deleted my wordpress.com site, but it’s still showing up in google with some of its content and I want to stop this happening. Can you help?

  Thanks!

  Alice

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

  https://aspoonfulofsweetener.wordpress.com is no longer available.The authors have deleted this site.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove it 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: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
