PDF file needs permanent deletion
-
Can you remove the following PDF files permanently? I have deleted them from the media folder, but they still show up in google:
Click to access karishmeh_felfeli_crawford_mozart_fantasia_k475.pdf
Click to access karishmeh_felfeli_crawford_mozart_fantasia_embodiment.pdf
Please let me know when this is done.
Thanks a lot!

It already says “404 – file not found”
Is there something different you see at your end?

Clear your browser cache please https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache as that file produces a 404 file not found error message.

This file has been successfully deleted https://karishmeh.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/karishmeh_felfeli_crawford_mozart_fantasia_k475.pdf
This file however https://karishmeh.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/karishmeh_felfeli_crawford_mozart_fantasia_embodiment.pdf has not yet been deleted.
WordPress.COM media caches are usually cleared within 3 days and the deleted files will then show a 404 page not found message. Read more about it here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/#additional-info

Deleting sites and/or site content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that.
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 image from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found) see https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/4628134?hl=en

Note that this file https://karishmeh.files.wordpress.com/2017/06/karishmeh_felfeli_crawford_mozart_fantasia_embodiment.pdf has not been deleted from your Media Library. Also note that Staff will assist you as soon as they can.

Hi folks, both files seem deleted on this end. I’ve cleared cache just in case, but as far as I can see it was already clear.
Please do follow @timethief’s advice about clearing Google Cache too:
