Delete website
Is there a repository or anything like that of old versions of your website? Indexed pages with old content? Is there a way to "Purge" the internet of any old versions of webpages? Meaning, there some old pages from my website that are indexed that I have changed and or deleted that still come up for some reason. Thanks in advance,.

Once anything can be accessed on the Internet it becomes beyond your ability to control. People copy web pages all the time. Search engines (not just google) scour the web to index every page, every word, every image they can find. Even on internal/private networks (at your work) you have the same issues -- just on a smaller scale. Depending on the content and where you placed it, it could also be sitting in caching systems or streaming servers or bit torrents etc. etc.
Bottom line its only private content and under your control, when its not ever reachable online. Even then, your private content is vulnerable to malware, hackers, all sorts of nefarious activity.
That was the long answer. The short answer... No. (at least not completely)

Baidu, the Chinese search engine, appears to be making a concerted effort to catalog the entire internet. They will have copies of your pages long after you are gone.
