Delete the image(s) from your media library

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 deleted files will then become 404 page not found.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. 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 after it produces a 404 (page not found):

Hello,
I’m still finding theimages I wanted to delete on Goggle search.
As timethief mentioned, it can take search engines up to 6 months to reflect any changes made on your site. I’m afraid there’s nothing we can do from this end to speed the process up.
You could try using Google’s Search Console to submit links to the deleted content still appearing in their searches:

I hope this helps!
