  Hello,

  I deleted my WordPress as I am now a teacher. However, the image is still appearing on Google and linked to WordPress.

  Please remove it.

  WP.com: Yes

  Hi there,

  It seems that your image is still stored in Google cache.

  Here’s the article that explains it further:

  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.

  So, basically you should ask Google to remove it, if you’ve already deleted your site from WordPress:

  https://developers.google.com/search/docs/crawling-indexing/remove-information?hl=en&ref_topic=1724262&vid=0-635749429504660340-12158368555624983465&rd=2&visit_id=638052410454699306-2894202843

  If you haven’t fully deleted your site, check if your photos are still stored in your Media Library.

  Hope this helps!
