How long does it take on yahoo for a cached page of a a link that's been removed to disappear?

Question

i deleted something, but it still shows up under certain searchs. The link is dead, but there's a cached page. How long until the Yahoo processes remove the link and the cached page from search results?

Answer 1

If you look at the Google help page it says it uses the cached page to find a relevant match, but then goes on to say:

The "Cached" link will be missing for sites that have not been indexed, as well as for sites whose owners have requested we not cache their content.

When I did a  search with Yahoo and  then from the cached version of the page clicked on "internet archive", I found with a random site that I could go back 5 years!! For this it uses the Internet Archive Wayback Machine .

I did not find, as with Google, that if the page was mine that I could ask Yahoo to remove it.

Interesting.

Good question, thanks.
