Delete it and all files for it and the search engines will eventually drop the listings when they find it is gone.

Re: getting rid of a site

Don't get rid of the database... back it up and save that backup on a local drive. There may be some valuable info in there that you may want to retrieve later.

Getting rid of the store is easy. Just delete all files and folders relating to zencart, and (after backing it up) delete the database... Takes about 2 minutes in your cPanel.
