  Hi there,

  Please note that the after deleting your site you will still see some of your site content come up in Google or Bing search results. This is because the indexed content SERPs (search engine page results) is not deleted. Google and Bing clear their cache only in 3-6 months.

  To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

  Hope this helps.
