  @staartmees And I see the user’s image so it’s in a cache somewhere.

  
  @adamatk The cache is normally emptied every few days, so if your site was recently deleted, it may be a few more days before it’s no longer available.

  Keep in mind that deleting a site doesn’t remove its content from search engine caches. If you need that purged, you’ll have to contact each search engine to have it removed. https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/6349986?hl=en
