Removed everything from my webpage still not de-ranked

Hi,
How long is the delay to de-rank once you remove everything from a page ?
Thank you,

Hey seoanalytics,
If you are willing to remove from Google's index just a bunch of pages, you can use the URL removal tool(link)
The fastest way to remove a page from Google is by returning HTTP410 status code.
If you cant do that, then using a robots noindex tag either in the HTML or in the HTTP header will work.Keep in mind that you should not be blocking crawling on robots.txt.
More information about controlling indexation:
- Official resource about indexing: Block search indexing with 'noindex' - Search Console Help
Hope it helps.
Best luck.
