Author didn't specify how long he waited. I'm guessing not long at all. It would be reasonable to give Google time to update it's index.

  There was a week between the deletion of my Google+ account and changing my profile to not visible in search and the date of this posting. Seems like enough time for Google to update an index of their own pages especially since they are capable of updating the index of my web site multiple times per day.

    The original complaint doesn't have any evidence I can see, the cached version is unavailable, the preview is unavailable and the actual link itself 404's. To actually delist a page from Google can take a little longer than a week, we renamed one of our pages recently without 301 redirecting and it took a pretty long time for it to be removed from search.

      If you look at Google's cached result, the page is blank but if you view source the profile's all there.

    If I search for 'John Graham-Cumming google plus' the result is still listed, but leads to a 404. Looks like it takes them a while to reindex these even when they're deleted.

      I think it takes a while for Google to remove a page from it's index, if one exists then suddenly 404's in my experience it takes a little longer than a week to remove it from Googles index.

        Yeah the problem with changing a business's strategy and offering an integrated service is that, somewhat unsurprisingly, people expect it to be integrated. Clearly, this isn't the case.
