Webpage deleted but not image url

    If you delete a webpage with multiple images e.g http://www.website.com/name or even delete a webpage for an individual image e.g http://www.website.com/image14573 but don’t delete the individual image url e.g http://www.website.com/wp-content/uploads/name/image0001.jpg will the image eventually get deleted or will it stay on your server? If not is there a way to search and delete a big bunch of images by doing a search for ‘name’ and deleting them all? I asked a website to delete copyrighted images but only sent the page url. They deleted but now I see the individual image URLs are live (I guessed their names). They’re not getting back to me, so I need to chase up or will they delete themselves or are they ignoring me because deleting 30 individual URLs is a hassle?

    Hi there,

    Apologies, but we can’t help with your issue directly because we don’t host your site on our WordPress.com managed hosting.

    To explain, we are a fully managed hosting provider and use a custom server environment that is optimized for WordPress, provides built-in security and performance improvements, as well as in-house support for your site questions.

    Because of the way we’ve optimized our service, we also use a customized version of WordPress that is different (under the hood) from what you use at your current provider. As a result, we do not have access to your site and are not familiar with the source of your issue.

    You definitely have the option to move your site to us so we can provide in-house help, using our migration plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpcom-migration/ and the site would need to be on the business plan.

    As it stands now, we cannot help since it is hosted elsewhere. The good news is that help is available here at the open-source WordPress forums: https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting

    The folks in that forum are more familiar with these kinds of issues and are in the best position to help. Thanks!
