My old domain keeps appearing on Google Results

Hi!

I've done a change of domain more than one month ago. I did all the correct steps, the URLs from old domain are 301 redirected to the new one, i've submitted the new sitemap, and i've requested a Change of Adress on old Search Console.

But if i type the new domain on google, the old domain keeps coming in the results.

How can i speed up the process? If i use the delete URL tool to delete the whole old domain, i will be disabling the new one?

Thanks!

It is natural to see both versions in serp for sometime despite correctly moving site as travler has mentioned .. it doesn't mean that it's impacting your ranking also if you check the cache of old page your new version should be shown ..  that's normal for sometime. .. I think 1 or 2 months isn't enough time for site move as when I did it for approx 6 months it took time ..  
As rickroll has mentioned I completely agree that if you serving 301 that means permanent redirect and in this case one year redirect or 6 months redirect is something like cheating Google to get the result

All the redirects are correct.
The old urls likely stay in search for some time, but as long as they are correctly redirected, the users / bots all get taken to the new site.
So don't worry about it. Some report that old domain urls stay in search for months.

Hi Uri Serra,

It can take a little time for Google to see and honor your 301 redirects.  Can you provide your old URL and new URL?  If you don't want to post them use bitly.com to shorten...

Hi!

No problem at all. The old domain is www.hhhaus.com, the new one is www.avabananakids.com

Thanks!

It is recommended to keep the old domain for a year.

It is recommended to keep the old domain indefinitely if possible. I don't agree with the 1 year answer

I'm facing the same issue. It has been more than a month I moved my site to new domain name, but old domain still appears in search while almost no impressions for new website.

Old domain was essentialoilcompany.in which I had 301 redirected to https://essentialoilswholesaler.com
