  Hi wordpress, i recently deleted my wordpress blog via account admin settings. The site is till coming up in google search results which I do not want. I did not set the site to private prior to deleting it. Now that I cannot access my site settings anymore from my end what can I do to rectify this problem and have the site deleted from search results? I look forward to your reply!!

  We have no control over what any search engine displays.

  Deleting blogs and/or blog content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
