PDF not being deleted

Hi, I’ve deleted all my sites and a PDF link from Google is still live and I can’t find a way to delete. Any help is appreciated, regards

What is the URL of the document referred to?
To keep things running quickly around here, files are held in multiple caches through a separate system. These caches are usually cleared within 3 days and the files will then become 404 page not found.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting public blogs and/or blog content from them does not remove indexed content 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):

If you provide the file URL, I can look into it and make sure it is deleted from our system.

Thank you both URLs still live here are the two links for the PDFs of my CV. I deleted all pages/sites and content yesterday but they’re still live;

I’m not seeing either of those files. I get 404 errors.
Your browser may be looking at a cached version of the page. You can try either clearing your cache, using a different browser, or loading the page and then holding the shift key while you click reload/refresh.
