Only Google can help. If you deleted it from WordPress.com it’s no longer on WordPress.com. Contact Google to get it removed from Google.

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.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it 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. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en

thanks for your reply. I have tried to delete it from google, just like timethief mentioned. However, due to the above link to wordpress still alive, google refused to make a change, google ask me to contact webmaster:
The content you submitted for cache removal appears on a live page.
As you may know, information in our search results is actually located on publicly available webpages. Even if we removed this page from our index, the content in question would still be available on the web.
To remove this information from our search results and from the web, you’ll need to contact the webmaster of the site in question. Once the webmaster makes the change, you can submit a request to remove the cached copy or simply wait for our search results to reflect this change the next time we crawl the page. Important! The site owner will need to demonstrate that the page has been changed since Google last crawled it.
that’s why i hope anyone could help me delet it from wordpress first.

Clear your browser cache please so you are not viewing a cached copy. http://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache Also know that we cannot assist with any search engine issues http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

Hi there,
As both raincoaster and timethief have mentioned, images get cached for a while before they get purged from our system. Your own browser cache can act against you and will continue to pull the image up long after it is gone from our servers. The images in question have both been removed. Google has a much longer memory, I’m afraid. All that can be done is to request the content be removed and hope that they do so. No matter what, the images will fall in results because they do not link to a live image any longer.
Sorry we cannot be of more help, but we cannot control what google does with their search results.

thanks for your reply. I am not sure why the first link has removed, the second one still show alive on my site. Although I have cleared my browser cache, the link still there.
i think i will be patient and hopefully, google will delete it sooner or later.
thanks again
