Facebook pages appearing in search engine results are usually accompanied by a cached version of the page, just like regular website pages are. The cached version of a Facebook page is a snapshot of how the page appeared at an earlier date. You can use the cached version of a page to view the page if it's been deleted.
Who Caches Pages?
Major search engines like Yahoo, Bing and Google keep cached copies of pages in their databases, as long as the pages are indexed in the search engine. You can access the cached version of a page by clicking on the "Cached" link next to the search result. The page often includes a header stating the date and time it was cached.
How Cached Pages Work
When a search engine like Google crawls a website and indexes a page in its search results, it takes a snapshot of the page and records it, unless specifically instructed not to by the site's webmaster in the engine's webmaster dashboard. Cached pages may or may not contain images. Outgoing page links may or may not be cached as well.
Removing Cached Pages
If you've deleted a Facebook page, you may notice it still appears in search engine results. While the link may be broken, you can easily access a cached version of the page by clicking on "Cache." There's no way to remove a cached Facebook page. Since you don't manage Facebook's search-engine-specific webmaster account, you can't specifically request a cached page be removed. If the page contains copyrighted or material of questionable legality, use the Report URL tool. In such a situation, the search engine may remove the cached page. Over time, cached pages will eventually disappear from search engines if specific page don't reappear.
Facebook Privacy Options
By default, Facebook pages are set to public, which means they'll automatically show up in search engine results. The only way to get around this is to make the page private by excluding anyone who isn't a page administrator from viewing it. Click on "Edit Page" then "Manage Permissions." Check the box next to "Only Admins Can View this Page."
