We've used the "automatic URL removal system" from Google before to
remove a file from their cache.  I think it takes 24-48 hours, but is
faster than waiting for a re-index.

Subject: [SECURITY] Removing Files From Google cache

Does anyone have advice on the best approach for removing files from
Google 
cache or in dealing with Google to do so.

They offer a web page of advice on how to do this, but it does not seem
to 
work in a timely way.

http://www.google.com/webmasters/remove.html

Does anyone have experience or advice on how to do approach this.
