Deleted posts still showing up on blog, even after days
SOLVE
Initially, the blog had three posts as a "placeholder" for blog customization.
In the near end process of customiziation, we've published the real posts, and deleted the placeholder posts. However, in our "Popular Reads" and "Recent Posts" modules, the old placeholders are still showing up (see screencapture below), even they had been deleted for almost a week.
Module of popular and recent posts
For example, in our blog editor, there's no indication of Eventide Gilead Fund Named... article (see screencapture below) since it's been deleted; however, it's still showing up in the "Popular Reads" module (see screencapture above).
Published and un-published posts in blog editor
What should we do to resolve it? Appreciate any help we can get. Thanks!

Thanks for the update @nickng. I'm not seeing any of the wrapping html elements in that code you pasted. Is that code directly from the wysiwyg? or did you copy it from the wysiwyg and remove the extra html elements? I'm just not seeing the extra code like I see in your actual live page. I just have a feeling that's not the actual code controlling those sections. Could you try deleting that source code momentarily, just to see if the sections dissapear when you do that? Then we can 100% know that is the true code and section that's in control.

@MFrankJohnson Thanks. It's gone from the sidebar from the landing page, but seemingly still persisting in the blog post. For example, near the footer in this post still confirms that Eventide Gilead Fund Named... ,under "Popular Reads" section, is still showing up on my end, even after clearing the caches on Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Confirmed. Still bad.

Appears to be a good Popular Reads code module on the blog index page sidebar.
(see image)
And bad Popular Reads (AND Recent Posts) code modules on the blog pages.
(see image)
Not sure why there's different (extra) code being used for those two areas, but HubSpot blogs aren't my thing so there may be a totally valid reason for the differences ...
Maybe ask for help from some of the guys in the Design forum. @Jsum, @tjoyce

Oh yea! I see the problem (maybe, lol).
From looking at the code, that list of blog posts are wrapped in a richtext module which seems odd to me that the rich text module would have a dynamically generated blog loop in it. Also, the fact that those links lead to 404's, I have to wonder if those post titles are hard coded into the wysiwyg on each page they appear. There are a couple of places they could be hiding. In the richetext editor in the design manager, you could check the default values set for the richetext block. Or, on the page editor you can check the richtext wysiwyg source code.
To sum that up, it really just looks like those are added through a richtext editor and not through some magical blog loop generator (I could be wrong on that considering I have limited insight to the way your specific site is built)

@tjoyce Thanks. We found a solution with yours pointing us to the right direction. It was hard-coded with the specific links rather than using hubl code to auto-generate.
