How to permanently delete a picture

Q: May I find out how to permanently delete a picture from my Media Library?
This is the file in question (http://bernardoh.files.wordpress.com/2006/11/sydney-opera-house-261106-2.JPG).
I had previously deleted it from my media library (http://bernardoh.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php). This file does not appear in my Media Library All listings. However, this file is still accessible directly with the above mentioned URL.
Could someone please advise where I can address this problem? Thank you.

WordPress runs using a MYSQL database, and databases typically do not immediately delete things. There is a schedule where the database will “pack” or compact the data, and that is when the file is actually deleted. When you “delete” a file, it is “marked” for deletion in the database, and also marked as unavailable to wordpress.
I have no idea how often wordpress “packs” their databases. You might ask staff directly on this. http://support.wordpress.com/contact/
