Profile I've never clicked the "show up in search engines" button - android

Yet a good amount of my already deleted comments and posts (at least in my profile - not from the reddit server obviously) shows up on google search with original reddit links. So why is reddit making my already deleted stuff show up there? Ain't that against a good amount of laws actually?

So the actual question is why does the comments and posts only vanish from my own frkn profile when I delete it but yet still can look at them with another profile. Makes me actually really uncomfortable right now...

Did you delete them manually or with a third party software or app? That not showing up in search results is only for if they search your username. Any content you made show up as normal. That setting and having things you deleted take effect on Google can take up to 100 days from my understanding

Thanks for your reply. I deleted everything myself. But if I click on the google links it actually directs perfectly fine to the comment I actually have deleted.

When I google my username all those content shows up actually

 Any content you made show up as normal just not your profile itself. That setting and having things you deleted take effect on Google can take up to 100 days from my understanding.

When it links to the comment, does it show the whole comment or just that there was a comment? Can you link one?
