  How do I completely delete my blog from wordpress so that also it doesn’t appear on Google anymore either?

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

  Google is forever so you are out of luck there – better to set the blog to Private which blocks all search engines – you can if you register with Google and prove ownership of the blog then set it to private and as the page 404’s come back request Google to drop them from search results.

  Deleting the blog is very bad – you can’t prove ownership or ask Google to drop the search results. DON’T DELETE the blog – you will have no options at that point

  It will take a while to Google to drop the search results – I moved a year ago and Google is still pulling up old URL’s from before the move.
