  Hi I have permanently deleted this this site however it still comes up on the web when I google it! Why is that? Is there something I am missing?

  Thanks,
  Patricia

  Hi there,

  What’s the address of the site you’re referring to?

  Please note that it can take some time for Google to update its index, and WordPress.com doesn’t have any control over this. Over time, Google’s crawlers will realize that your site is gone and Google will update its listings. You can read more about how this works here:

  You can try to speed things up by requesting a site removal from Google search results by following the instructions here:
