  I want to delete my blog from wordpress and google. The site http://mentalmapping.wordpress.com/
  Has moved to another blog host but still comes up in google search, with some personal copy that I do not wish to appear. Is there any way you can remove this for me please, Thanks, Lawrence

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I advise you simply to set it to Private on the Settings->Reading page. It’ll take search engines a number of weeks to realize and stop listing it.

  Thanks, I would do that but I deleted my blog some time ago and, according to WordPress it doesn’t exist and therefore I cannot access settings but according to Google it still does exist and shows on searches. I have tried to delete it using Webmaster Tools but nothing has worked so far. L
