  Hi there,

  I can confirm that file has been completely removed from our servers. If I try to view it, I just get a 404 error.

  If you’re still able to view it, it’s most likely because that link is still cached in your browser’s local memory. Once you clear your browser cache, you should see a 404 error as well.

  If the file is also cached at Google, you’ll need to contact Google directly to request removal of the file from their cache and index. We have no access to their systems to remove the file from there.
