Deactivating in SmartOrg and removing from career site job search list

Content

I want to remove a company we are no longer using in smartorg and have it not displayed on the company advanced search on the Career Section for candidates, but still have it show in view mode on old reqs that used that data.

In staging I tried just deactivating but it didn't seem to do anything. I then deleted it up into the overall job family and it didn't do anything right away but several hours later when I checked, it was gone. However, I wanted to do the same a particular location and I only deactivated that and not delete and that was removed. So I am not clear how it works.
