  Hello guys, I was wondering if you could help me. I would like to recover a blog that I deleted awhile ago. Is that possible? It was associated to this account I’m using right now.

  Thanks in advance!

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

  Hi there,

  Deleting a blog is permanent and irreversible — once a blog is deleted, it cannot be recovered. (That’s why there are so many checks and warnings before deleting a blog.) You can read more about that here: Delete Site

  Deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any 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: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en

  I deleted the blog in 2012. It is not only search engines but the direct URL that it is still up.
  Nevertheless, I already filled a support request with WordPress. So thank you very much!
