Permanently Delete a File
-
Hello, I am attempting to permanently delete a file that I uploaded. The file violated the terms of use for a product I purchased on Teachers pay teachers. I have deleted the link from the blog and the document from my media library, but the owner of the product says the file is still showing up active. The file I need removed is https://porterelementary6.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/fall-of-rome.pdf
FALL-OF-ROME
Can you please ensure me that this file has been deleted?
Thank youThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

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 deleted 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):
