Two separate things, and people mix them up. Google can only drop a result from search - the info stays on the site that published it. So ask the site owner to take it down first. Once the page is gone or edited, use Google's outdated content removal tool so the old snippet disappears faster instead of hanging around for weeks. For your home address, phone number or email showing up, Google has a "results about you" option in your account where you can request removal of pages carrying your contact details. People-search and data broker sites are usually where that stuff comes from, and most have their own opt-out form, so work through those as well.
