  Deleted Pdf. Can still get to it through a direct link to the file.

  https://xxxxx.files.wordpress.com/etc.

  Looked everywhere for the file. Tried google index. Says it is still live.
  Tried to overwrite it with another pdf… WordPress adds text so the file name is different.

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

  Google’s cache stores things for some months after you delete a file. You’ll have to contact Google to get them to take down the cached file.

  A direct link is cached as well as within a search engine?

  If you don’t give ME the direct link, I can’t test it for you.
