Removing Linkedin Profile Cache From Google Search

I am very disappointed to find my entire profile details when searched in Google cache pages. I had disabled my public profile yet the cache pages allow any person to view my complete details of Linkedin profile which includes sensitive data. Finally, i tried deleting everything from my account but of no use. I have reported google removal tools but they ask to get the information removed by webmaster first,  it would be helpful if linkedin deletes the information as soon as possible. Please revert back to me on my email so that i can provide you with the link.

Public Profiles are automatically enabled when you create a Profile. However, you can take the following steps to disable (hide) your LinkedIn Public Profile so that it is not published to the web:

  1. Click on "Profile" at the top of your home page. This will take you to the "Edit My Profile" page.
  2. Click on "Edit" next to the URL listed on the "Public Profile" line towards the bottom of the blue box.
  3. Click on the "None" button to prevent your Public Profile from being displayed on the web.
  4. Click on "Save Changes".
