Site Permanently Deleted, Files Still Appear in Google Search
-
Long story short, a former professor of mine deleted an entire WordPress site instead of deleting the single file I’d requested. Will it simply take a while before the file stops appearing in search results? If the site and all content associated was deleted, why does this file still appear to be hosted?

Hello @michaelpeterdesign!
You asked your question a while ago now. Just wanted to check that your file does not still appear in search results.
The short answer to your question is “yes” – it will take a while before the content disappears from search results.
If the file still appears and you would like to help the search engine spiders in their work, you can Remove old or deleted information from Google. If you are in Europe, you could use https://forget.me.
