Deleted Wordpress page appears in Google Search Results

I created a page (/) to test something, then deleted it. It still appears in Google searches. However, it no longer appears in the Admin Dashboard, so I'm unable to delete/make it private. How do I find it to delete it again?

Since that page has already been indexed you can do a couple things.

1 - Add a rule in your .htaccess file that tells search engines not to index the page

User-agent: *
Disallow: /rights

2 - Use Google's Remove URLs Tool. The Remove URLs tool enables you to temporarily block pages from Google Search results. You can start that process here.

Don't worry, google check your page with the time and remove automatically.

Also, you can enter in your search console of google and resend your sitemaps
