  An old profile image, which I deleted several years ago, keeps reappearing on posts syndicated to Facebook, only when there are no photos in the post itself. How do I permanently delete this image?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  We have no control over the images that Facebook or any other social networks chooses to display or when they choose to flush their image caches. We really only send them the URL of the post, and they hunt through that for the excerpt and images to include.

  Thank you for those thoughts…..but the image is still embedded on my WordPress page. When I open the “My Sites” page, my image at the top left is the one I deleted about 4 years ago…..and I can’t find it anywhere, neither on the Gravatar page, nor the Profile page, nor in the Media Library lists. Where is being stored?

  Is this it?

  You will need to flush your Facebook cache before any newer image shows up.
