Old site
-
When you Google my name you see at the top of the search results my old wordpress’ joshuahoek.wordpress.com which I recently removed my new joshuavandenhoek.wordpress.com is below to be seen in the search results, this is annoying and I would like it to be the other way. I have removed this site but its stil in the air apparently
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

This site https://joshuavandenhoek.wordpress.com/ has NOT been deleted.
We cannot do this for you.
The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs or blog content does not remove it from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
