Everything you see in Google is indexed by google’s crawlers. So if you have ever searched your name in Google and if it shows about you, that means your Twitter data has been crawled and indexed by Google’s bots which can be removed by data holders (Twitter).

But Twitter says they have no access to Google’s data, so they are not responsible if someone’s Twitter account is indexed by Google. So even if you delete your Twitter account, there is still a chance that your data is not completely removed, it takes a little time to completely delete it.
