  Dear WordPress!

  I delete a pdf from my media library. I am aware that the system might take a few days to remove the actual file from being accessible. However, it been a week since I deleted the file, and it is still up and online. https://albachronicles.files.wordpress.com/2018/12/Heroes.pdf

  Please can you help me with this issue! I uploaded the file by accident.

  best thanks for any support

  That is file gives a ‘404 — File not found.’ So it has been succesfully deleted.

  This is weird. I can still access the file from multiple devices. Even bypassing the local cache with Ctrl + F5 returns the document.
