Does delisting from Google delete the page from the internet?

No. It only affects Google search. The page stays at its source and can still appear in other search engines.

Does Google charge for removal requests?

No, Google's forms are free. Any fee is for the agency or lawyer preparing the request.

How to remove content from Google

Source or search result?

A Google result is a link to a page on another site. While that page stays online, Bing, other search engines and AI assistants can still find it. The most durable fix is removal at the source; when the publisher will not act, you ask Google to delist the result.

What Google removes

Sensitive personal data: ID numbers, bank and card details, signatures, medical records
Contact details such as home address, phone and email, especially when shared to harass (doxxing)
Non-consensual intimate images and AI-generated explicit fakes
Images of people under 18, at their or a guardian's request
Content found unlawful by a court, and copyright infringement
For people in the EU, EEA and UK: outdated or irrelevant personal information under the right to be forgotten

Step by step

Save the result URL, a screenshot and the date.
For personal information, use Results about you in your Google account or the personal information removal form.
For legal grounds such as defamation, privacy or copyright, use Google's legal removal request and explain briefly, with evidence, which right is infringed.
If the page is already deleted or edited but Google still shows the old version, use the Refresh outdated content tool.
Keep the case number and follow the email thread.

Timing

Personal information requests often take days; legal requests can take several weeks. If Google declines, it gives a reason, and you can reapply with new evidence or return with a court order. See our guides on removing a news article from Google and the right to be forgotten.
