If your visitors can see the correct file (asp) then, so can the search engines.

It sounds to me as though you were googled *after* the domain had been set up (with the html), and before you uploaded your asp files.

If your index.html file is still there (but invisible to visitors), you could perhaps change it to turn it into a gateway to lead your visitors to index.asp. But I would assume that you have (correctly) deleted the html file. If so, leave it deleted.

Sounds like you will just have to wait for Google to re-visit.
