geisi12Hello,
I need help. I was deleting my blog. But my pictures are still on google search. I have to delete them as soon as possible. What can I do??

If you're asking about a free hosted wordpress.com site, have you deleted them from your Media library?
-
Yes it was a free hosted blog - I just deleted the blog - thinking this is enough. Did not delete them from library.
Is there any chance? -
'just' meaning when?
If it was recent, it could take weeks to fall out of search engine indexes.
-
You have a Google (and other search engines) issue not a WordPress.COM issue - the pictures will be cached for around 6 months I am told and some search engines never forget
PS - you did not need to delete your blog - just deleting the pictures from the media library would have done the same thing
-
so I can't do anything? right?
in any case - thanks for answering!
-
Sometimes search engines will delete content when ask - but I understand it is a tough sell and you need to prove ownership of the blog where the pictures came from and since you deleted the blog you can't prove ownership -
Over a period of time the results will become stale and they tend to not show up in the results - and as search engines scan your site that is not there they will remove the content that is not on your non-existant blog
-
I see, should have asked before :)
Anyway - Thank you guys!!
