  Hi there,

  It can take some time for Google and other search engines to update their index, and WordPress.com doesn’t have any control over this. Over time, search engines crawlers will realize that your site is gone and they will update their 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:
