  Hi, would you send a direct link to the PDF? We’ll check on its status for you, and we’ll also remove it from this thread once we have it.

  Hello there,

  It looks like this file is still in the media library.

  To delete is permanently, this would need to be deleted via Media > look for kathryn-collard-cv.pdf and click delete.

  I hope this helps!

  Hi!

  Thank you very much for your help. I have deleted the file through the media tab as mentioned above. Is there an amount of time that has to pass before it is permanently deleted? I can still access the file from google, and if I click the link above.

  It can take up to 24 hours after deletion for the file to be automatically purged from our systems, but I have manually purged it now. :)
