  Hi,

  -The direct web addresses to the files might continue to work for up to a few days, as they are cached.

  -Images (and other media) that you delete from WordPress.com still may be cached by search engines. In those cases, you should contact the search engine directly to find out how to remove the images from their servers.

  Please refer to the following support page: https://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/
