  When did you delete? Usually it takes quite a few hours for changes to propagate.

  Hello!
  WordPress, after deleting a site, sends you a confirmation email. If you did not recieve the confirmation email check your SPAM, Social, or Promotion Tabs. If you did not get the email within two hours WordPress recommends you re-do the process.

  You can also ask Google and Bing to remove the content in their search engines too.
  For Google go to webmaster tools–>remove

  Take note that it takes Google and Bing 3-5 months to clear their cache before sites no longer show-up.
