I asked a question on here and deleted it, yet it still shows up in Google. How can I get this deleted completely? It's important.

Can't be done.
Sorry. Lesson learned the hard way. Within seconds to minutes after posting HERE, a question is out THERE ... forever. If you know where and how to look, you'll find your own Q&A on Google, and on sites you've never visited, and on sites you never WOULD visit.
Once you post something online, it's never going away, EVEN if you delete it. Other sites borrow and steal from Y!A all the time, so don't post anything here (or anywhere) that could ever come back to haunt you.

Bad news, sorry. You can't delete the cached pages of Google, they don't give you that option. Deleted Q&A will remain there indefinitely until Google updates the webpage, possibly months or even years from now.
One more example of there not really being any privacy on the Internet and also why one should think about what they post before they post it.

Until googles catches up and finds the question has been deleted, it will stay. If google has had time to cache the post, it will be there for a long time. There is not a darn thing you can do. Yahoo is a public website and subject to google seeing every post.

I can't really say unless I know what the root of the problem is, post a link to the question and I might be able to help you further.
