Can't delete irritating ghost picture! Help!
-
I was struggling with one theme and it got some how so stuck, my blog shows one of my images as front page, and it won’t go away even though I deleted EVERYTHING, all media, avatars, all pages and all articles, everything I could find to delete, I did.
I just don’t dare to delete the whole blog because I’m afraid I’ll lose my domain. The picture appears as “front page” and as the little tiny image on browser address bar. Oh and I also did delete all caches and cookies from my browser. Also the wordpress says I’m using 1 megabytes even though I trashed everything and emptied the trashcan too! Please help me, I need to get this site up and running soon!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you referring to the seachbox on the front page positioned below this error message?
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help. [____________________________]If you are then, there is nothing wrong with your site. By default the front page of the blog is the only page that will display all published posts on it. As soon as you publish a post not a page the front page error message and searchbox that appears on every new WordPress.COM blog will be gone. http://en.support.wordpress.com/post-vs-page/
If you mean some other image then post the URL here please.

Hi,
Wow you’re fast! No, I’m referring to the huge painting of a tongue with a hat and sunglasses that rises from a split head (I’m not delirious, it’s an illustration I was trying out on the site). It is right on top of the error message. Can’t imaging how you can miss it? I’ve checked it with two different computers and a telephone. It’s allways there…

Yep, I see the huge painting.

Oh, I see the picture has it’s own URL too, it is this:
Go to Media Library, find it and delete it.

To keep things running quickly around here, files are held in multiple caches through a separate system. These caches are usually cleared within 3 days and the files will then become 404 page not found.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove any indexed items from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.

Ok. I’ll just try to sit back for a few days then. Still, I don’t understand how did it get there. I’ll get back to you if it won’t clear out.
Thank you so much!
