  Hi,

  I look after a WP blog on behalf of a company. Yesterday they had an issue with a document on the blog and I duly deleted it from the Media Library.

  The file is still linkable from search engines. I see that this may be due to either:

  a) the file still being in WP’s cache for a few days or
  b) the file is in the search engine’s cache

  Before I contact the search engine concerned, could you confirm that the file is NOT in WP’s cache. If it is, is there a way for WP to remove it ASAP?

  Thank you for your time! The file is:

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

  Hi auxclass – thanks for trying and confirming it’s not there. This has literally happened in the last few minutes :)

  The power of WP forums for finding a solution eh? ;)

  You be welcome

  Sometimes a file can reside on your PC in a browser cache or some other place – having someone that has not visited a site or seen a file is often the best check
