Hi,
We have change the ltd about 8 years ago from .es to .com and have some very strange behavior in google.
The website:

First point :
We changed the ltd about 8 years ago from .es to .com. Did 301 redirect to the new website but still the old site is in the index with thousands of links. In the search console, it shows in Links 95K of links from old ltd to the new one.
the .es version

the .com version

We had about 450K unique visitors per day but the last years it is getting lower and lower. Even on our brand name, we are not in the first position anymore. When I check with site: in google it shows the title and description of the .com website. When visit all the links in the .es search it is redirected to the .com version so all looks ok.
- I wonder why the old .es results are still available in the search.
- Why in webmaster tools it is shown as “links” ( from .es version to the .com version) if I login in webmaster tools
- Does it hurt our SEO as it could be duplicated content (google shows 2 versions .es and .com )
- Why it is still indexing a .es website as it is completely removed. (20 links indexed this week on .es version)
- How is it that the title and description is shown in the SERP from the .com website in the .es index
- In the log, I see Google is still spidering thinks like ????.es/nokia ????.es/iphone as the website was responsive based on device, but that was made 6 years ago. in the logs of yotubesexo.com
So again for 6 years, the .es is still there (it is slowly going down now) but still google see it as links in webmaster tools. yotubesexo.es is completely removed as website.
As bonus yesterday Mr. google showed this

Two months ago we changed the server and made a new setup of the website.
Does anyone know what we are doing wrong here or did wrong in the past?
cheers
