deleting a message

What is the name of your state? California

How do I delete a post? I told it to delete, and it's still there. More importantly, I took out some key words that could get me in trouble. When I did a google search for those words, I still found two captions with the words. They lead to the edited version of the post I couldn't delete. How do I make it so a search doesn't turn up anything, why is it turning up something that doesn't exist anymore?

Go back to the post, and edit it. Go to advanced. At the bottom is a little check box to delete once you finish the message (something like that). Once you click on it, it will be deleted.

Thanks, Moburkes. I managed to delete the post. But why are the key words in the Google search still turning up part of the post that does not exist anymore? The part that I shouldn't have posted in the first place.

Honey, if I knew the answer to that question, I promise that I would have told you. I'm not computer savvy. Sorry.

Because that is now part of internet 'history" .There is nothing you can do about it!

It will eventually clear from Google searches, but it can take up to 6 months.

Thanks all, for the enlightenment.
