    Google offers a free tool called "Results About You" that scans the web for pages showing your personal contact information. When it finds something, you can ask Google to hide that page from search results in one click.

    This does not delete the page from the internet, but it stops people from finding it on Google. That alone makes a big difference, since most people only find your info by searching your name.
