Wrong page
Raoul
Now the URL is being shown but connected to a no longer existing
website I made two years ago. This sit has been removed by me but only
pops up in Google search. What can be done to change this and let my
website prefer?

The key therefore it to have interesting content that other sites find
useful enough to link to.
Next, you want to make life easy for Google to spider your site. You
want to give them a "sitemap". See
thtp://mindprod.com/products1.html#SITEMAP
for a free program to create you one.
You also want to organize you site into pages that are very specific
in what they cover. There are millions of sites that casually mention
some keyword, but if you have a page that goes into depth on something
specific it will percolate to the top.
It helps if your HTML is validated. Syntax errors betray an
amateurish site, ditto spelling errors.
Finally you can submit your site to various search engines, not just
Google.

I advocate that super programmers who can juggle vastly more complex balls than average guys can, should be banned, by management, from dragging the average crowd into system complexity zones where the whole team will start to drown.

see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/searchengines.html#RANK
for my essay on how to improve ranking. My own site ranks unusually
high for how small a player it is (just one person), so my advice is
probably more use than that of others trying to sell you some book of
tricks to cheat.

Just write Google. They will withdraw links if you give them a good
reason.

I mean the word proof not in the sense of the lawyers, who set two half proofs equal to a whole one, but in the sense of a mathematician, where half proof = 0, and it is demanded for proof that every doubt becomes impossible.
