  I deleted a file that I don’t want to show up anymore but when I google my name, this old deleted file page is still showing up. I need this page to go away: http://teknoreba.files.wordpress.com/2013/01/gray_cv_3-2013_online.pdf

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

  I followed the directions and believe I did that. There is no sign of the original file anywhere in my media library.

  I get a 404 not found, so the file is no longer on your site or in the WordPress.COM cache system.

  But it can take several months for search engines to clear and update their caches, and some search engines seem to never forget, so the file might be in some corner of the internet for some time
