  I deleted my blog a couple days ago and since then whenever I search my name, the top hit is my deleted blog. Is there a way to make the deleted blog and all pages within invisible from google searches or deleted permenately? Because I have deleted the blog I cannot change any of the settings that the blog had prior, therefore I cannot go into the settings and make private or quick fixes like that.

  Thanks for any advice!

  Hi there,

  Since your site has been deactivated, even search engines will not be seeing your site any longer, however since they had already indexed it, that information is already out there.

  It’s up to Google to decide when and how to include/remove your site in search results, WordPress.com doesn’t have any control over that. For more information you can read our FAQ about search engines here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  You can try requesting removal from Google by following the instructions here:

  Google also provides information and tools for webmasters, you might find further information on their tools here:
