Please read the forum guidelines and specifically the portion on deleting.
It is not the general policy to delete forum posts. When a post is made and people contribute answers to an issue, that then becomes part of the community resource for others to benefit from and deleting posts removes this added value. In certain circumstances, members of the moderation team might be persuaded (for example, through free beer or bribery 😉 ) to remove sensitive information that has been included in posts accidentally – but your best course of action is not to publish anything that you wouldn’t want to be public. (Remember too that other sites take archive copies of the forums, and we can do nothing to control that.)

Hi Esmi,
Thanks for replying to me. I assumed, like most messages it could be deleted but you’ve made me realise that it would defeat the object of a forum!
Is there anyway I can bribe you to remove the sensitive url from this forum? I’ll buy you two beers 🙂
If not at least I’ve learned an important lesson.
Thanks
Natasha
FWIW, as your site grows in popularity, the google link will fade over time. You have to go down 12 pages on keywords for one of my sites to find wp.org at all. Also, the link will STILL be there in archives and cache, so it may show up forever.
The more you know 😉
