  Hey I’ve changed all my information and website and was wondering if I could get help getting all the old information removed from Google search. I’ve contacted Google about it and they denied me.

  Was wondering if someone from support could actually help.

  Thanks.

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

  That’s not something we can do for you at all. Please read this support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  Ah okay, well hopefully new information is updated in 4-6 weeks. Similar to adding a new blog.

  Thanks for the help.

  Yes but it may take a little longer. We simply have no control over this from our end. However, you can Ask Google to re-crawl your URLs https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6065812?hl=en

  You could have edited the content – replace the original content with a single line “This content deleted by owner” – then when search engines visit they would be updating and clearing at the same time – that might have been a bit quicker and helped to flush the old content

  You be welcome & have a good weekend – spent the day on a new public education program kickoff to help prevent oil spills on the water
