  Hi, I recently changed my blog name, and made all of my blog posts private, but when I google my OLD blog name my images (it private blog posts) show up. How do I stop this?! Do I need to delete the entire blog? Thanks

  Hi momof3jv, you might ask Google about clearing the cache:
  https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663691?hl=en
  https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/url-removal?pli=1

  Then try the search again, and log out of your site first to test and make sure it’s working.

  If all else fails, you can rename the blog to whateverthenamewasold.wordpress.com, which will empty the real site name and move your content to a new link, which search engine would have indexed.
