I just created a new site that is indexed by the search engine; however, files from the old site are still being indexed. What can I do?
The old site will need to be removed. If the old site was hosted via Penn State departmental Web space, then the site’s administrator/supervisor will need to request removal via the ITS Accounts Services Office. After the Accounts Office verifies the request, the site can be removed. If the old site was hosted on an independent server (for example, www.aaa.psu.edu), then the site administrator for the independent server will need to be contacted. It then takes about a maximum of seven days after the site has been removed for the search engine to purge the files from the index. If there are only a few URLs in the index, then we can delete the URLs manually. If there are many URLs, then you will need to wait until the server purges the URLs from the index.
