You can remove posts from Google's archive:

# How can I remove articles from Google's archive?
Google will honor requests to remove messages that you have posted
yourself (known as nuking a post). You may even be able to do this
yourself using our Automatic Removal Tool. Please find the
circumstance below that applies to you and follow the instructions
there.
* Messages posted from your current e-mail address
If the email address you used to post your message(s) is still
active, we recommend you use our Automatic Removal Tool. This is the
fastest and easiest way to have your posts removed. Note- that in
order to use this option, you must be able to send and receive email
using the same account from which your messages were originally posted
to Usenet.
* Messages posted with an e-mail address that is no longer valid
If you would like to request the removal of posts made by you,
but the email address from which you posted is no longer valid, you
may send an e-mail to
groups- that contains the
following items:
o your full name and contact information, including an email
address that can be verified;
o the complete Google Groups URL (or message ID) for each
individual message you would like to have suppressed;
o a statement that says "I swear under penalty of civil or
criminal laws that I am the person who posted each of the foregoing
messages or am authorized to request removal by the person who posted
those messages."; and
o your signature (electronic).
To prevent articles from being added to the Google Groups index in
the future, add 'X-No-Archive: yes' in the header of the article when
you post. If your news posting software does not allow you to edit
headers, type 'X-No-Archive: yes' as the first line of your post.
* Messages posted by other people
By its very nature, Usenet consists of information posted by
many people. Google does not monitor or control the content of this
information. Instead, we simply provide access to the public forum in
which people post their comments.
Accordingly, if you are concerned about a message that someone has
posted, you need to resolve that problem directly with the person who
posted it. Except in extreme circumstances, Google will not act upon
an individual's request to remove another person's messages. We firmly
believe it is not Google's role to resolve disputes among the users
who have posted millions of messages on Usenet, nor would it be
possible to fulfill that role if we chose to undertake it.
It is Google's policy to respond to notices of alleged
infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in
an appropriate manner under such Act and other applicable intellectual
property laws, including the removal or disabling of access to
material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity. For more
information, see our Terms of Service.
