  There’s an old blog LexusLakeway that’s still showing up in Google. All of the posts were deleted & the account was cancelled. What’s the solution?

  You don’t say how long ago you deleted your site, but deleting a WordPressdotcom site does not immediately remove it from search engine returns. You’ll need to wait until the search bot crawls your site again to see that it’s been deleted (3-6 months) and WordPressdotcom has no control over how long that takes. If you can’t wait for that to happen then you’ll need to contact each search engine and request your URL be removed. https://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/
