Support: Please remove all content from my blog

    Can someone please mass delete the 2600+ posts from my blog? I set the blog to private weeks ago and that should have removed it from google. It has not. Posts with the descriptions still show up, images with the descriptions show up in image searches, and it is frightening that something marked private roughly three weeks later is still searchable. It does not matter that the person cannot see the blog page, they have seen enough. I do not want my content on a website that doesn’t honor their privacy settings. If hidden is the only way to remove indexing that’s messed up.

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

    Hi xkiddefenderx,

    Since you have so many posts, can help empty kiddefender.music.blog from our side. This process will permanently remove all content and media so I just want to be sure you are happy to proceed before I do anything.

    WordPress.com sites marked public can be indexed by search engines and I see you changed kiddefender.music.blog from public to private one month ago (the site had already been public for a month by this point). That means kiddefender.music.blog was indexed before being marked private:

    https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/#privacy-options

    We don’t have any control over search engine results and it’s worth noting that marking a site private or deleting it won’t automatically remove content from those results — it’s up to search engines to decide when this happens.

    If you intend to keep the site private from now on, Google’s Outdated Content Tool can be used to request removal of those links — although the site would be reindexed if you ever marked it as public again.

    With that in mind, would you like me to empty the site or would you prefer to keep the content and leave it private?
