Back in the 90s I made web pages for some friends and hosted them on their Globalnet account. The account has long been terminated but the site is still up (it's http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~mapy) and still shows up in Google searches for the band and label despite being last updated 15 years ago. Is there any way of getting the site removed as of course the account is inaccessible as it was cancelled.
I worked at Global back in the dim dark mists of time and can remember that the users web server was moved to a HP mini system in about 1998 so I have this vision that it's still sitting in a machine room somewhere soldiering on and that no-one knows how to get into it any more...

The only internal references appear to be for images. If you right click and select 'view page information' (or similar) then the media tab you should be able to save each image to your computer.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread but I've just seen that this site is still up or has been restored. Is there anything that can be done to take it down? Can Google be persuaded to forget about it when there's no way of accessing the code or demonstrating ownership?

I'm not too sure how you'd ask Google to change their search results. Are you wanting the website taken down completely from our servers? If so, mind PMing me the username you had when you were with us?
