So I changed my username, but when searching up my previous one, it still shows up when I don't want it to cause someone found out about the username and I don't want them to find out about this account. Lol
This applies in the site Rule34 (which I never made an account on) and it's still stuck with my old account.
Would it fix itself overtime or am I screwed?
Yeah, we have zero control over search engine indexing. Eventually, they'll reindex the relevant pages & the old entries will disappear from results.

Well that's good to know, thanks! Also, what about Rule34? would that change automatically?
I don't know, but at the very least, there will always be the 7 existing instances of people quoting you when you used a different username https://e621.net/comments?group_by=comment&search%5Bbody_matches%5D=catratzzz. Nothing can be done about those, though I don't know how likely those are to show up in Google.
If Rule34 is crediting you as an artist or mentioning you in sources, comments, etc., there is no reason that would ever change.

Even if I delete those comments, they'll still be there?

Is there any way to report it or simply delete the account, or change the username, even if I don't have a rule34 account?

They'll still appear in other people's comments since it's been copied as part of their comment. However, you can message an admin about that; I've seen them modify comments quoting users' old names before.

You are asking questions that should be asked on the Rule34 forum. Nobody here knows what they can do for you.
You will most likely be ignored though if the comments mentioning your previous name did not break any of their rules.
