Post deleted, how to update in Google?

    A post was made on my blog and added to Google. I deleted the post, it's still visible in Google.

    For example, say the post's title and URL was:

    The Deleted Post
    www.mysite.com/the-deleted-post

    Now, it's still in Google but when you click the link it just goes to www.mysite.com with a message saying the post has been deleted.

    My question is, how do I get the entry removed from Google? It just redirects to my home page when it's clicked, but the title and description of the page are still visible in Google.

    I tried a cache delete request, they deleted the cache, no change. I submitted the URL to the Google spiders, no change. What do I do?

    You can tell google to remove it from index by your robots.txt

    
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /the-deleted-post

    Just Wait for a while google will automatically remove that post/page.
    You can do one thing easily redirect that deleted url to your homepage.
