Google's Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt Explains Why The Internet Needs A 'Delete Button' ".....Actions someone takes when young can haunt the person forever, Schmidt said, because the information will always be on the Internet. He used the example of a young person who committed a crime that could be expunged from his record when he's an adult. But information about that crime could remain online, preventing the person from finding a job. "In America, there's a sense of fairness that's culturally true for all of us," Schmidt said. "The lack of a delete button on the Internet is a significant issue. There is a time when erasure is a right thing."

I think it is less an issue of whether the information exists and more of just how readily findable it is.
But you pose an interesting question. A number of years ago in Canada, there was a trial following a particularly gruesome pair of rape-murders and the judge imposed a publication ban. Of course, US newspapers just over the border covered the story and were not subject to the publication ban. There were in fact some libraries in Canada that carefully cut out the stories before putting the papers on display. Although before the age of powerful search engines, USENET and other Internet resources did make the ban close to useless.
As universities were the major source of Internet connectivity at the time, I had some very interesting discussions with our lawyers about whether we were "publishing" the story when we let it flow through our servers.

I am wondering what happens with copies of newspapers that are stored in libraries. Would Martin have the right to go to the libraries and cut out from the paper copies of the newspapers the articles about her case? R.

This right to be forgotten is being defended right now because the children and young people who did a lot of trouble and silly things online. Then they grow up and want others to forget all the mess they did.
Anyway the information could be located anywhere in the globe. How to erase things in servers locaded in different jurisdictions?
Internet has memory, and I personally don't agree with this "right". Think before, practice the auto-censorship. Avoid silly things or be responsible with the results.
