    My pictures won’t delete even though I deleted them. They still show up in google images.

    Hi there!

    Search engines like Google will not delete images as soon as you delete them from your site. They cache (save) images and serve them from their servers. So it takes some time before they realize the source images have been deleted. Once they do, they’ll remove the images from their search result pages.

    We don’t have any control over this. The only thing we can make sure of is that the source images are no longer visible at the URL they were in. Do you still see the images somewhere on your site that you’ve deleted? If yes, can you share the link so that we can check?
