  Hey there,

  Google may take a while to deindex deleted sites and WordPress has no control over that process.
  I believe Google and Bing only delete their caches of deleted indexed pages every 3 – 6 months.

  But, It is still possible to remove a website from search results manually.

  Here is a link that might help:

  Hope this helps!
