Permanently Deleted

    Regularly google yourself and delete as much info as you can, then have google delete the links to that info. Do the same for Bing and Yandex.

    How would I go about deleting those links (in search results)? Is this to do with the EU's "right to be forgotten" or is there another way?

    Thanks for the tips.

        Thanks.

        I'm in the UK so I may have missed the boat on the EU approach lol.

        There's one link with my name showing next to a username I have elsewhere. I removed the name from the site (unfortunately there's no option to delete the account), but it's still showing in the search snippet and the cache. The process for removing seems to only apply to deliberate doxxing, which this isn't. I could try it anyway.

        Edit: Maybe the "outdated info" removal could work, since the page doesn't contain the info now.

        Do you think it would be possible to wait it out and hope the Googlebot updates the search result any time soon, with the updated page that has my name removed? It's on quite a niche website.
