  I deleted a photo from my library last weekend, which wasn’t in any of my posts, but it is still showing as present at the url, so Google Images is still returning it as a result and I can’t ask for removal as the url is still active.

  How can I remove this glitched file?

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

  If I remember correctly, it can take a few days (around 3-5) before WordPress.com permanently removes a trashed file forever. Once that happens, search engines will stop indexing it and it will fall away.

  While this can be an inconvenience for sure, if this is a security issue, please let us now and we will mark this for staff attention.
