  I would like to delete a PDF link from my deleted site. It is still searchable in Google, but I have deleted it from my website as well as deleted the website.

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

  So, I’m seeing both of those as being deleted on our system. I get 404 errors.

  It can take some time for Google to update its index, and WordPress.com doesn’t have any control over this. Over time, Google’s crawlers will realize that the files are gone and Google will update its listings.
