  over a year ago I created a word press site as part of a requirement for a job application at university. I have deleted the site since then but this pdf file (my cv) is still on the web, accessible by everyone. In my new role, this file was found by one of the HR employees who suggested to have it removed. can you help me remove this file please?
  this is the link to the file

  When I click that link, the file comes up as a 404-File Not Found error for me (temp screenshot). Same thing when clicking on the direct link in Google.

  If it is being found on the net, it’s most likely due to it being cached on search engines, for which you will have to contact each one to have the file removed from their cache. This is not something that WordPressdotcom can do for you. Here’s more on that: https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/
