Help help: any way to force google to update a page on here so the images i posted will vanish from its image cache? - Help.com

ugh i hope it goes away so no one can find my account and read stuff i posted about my life and stuff because that would be bad if people i knew saw :(

its me “sum” lol

This question comes up on here quite often, the simple answer is, no there is no way to remove it from google or the others that will have picked up on it.
I can still pick up things on google, that I posted more than two years ago, I have been careful though not to put stuff on any post, anywhere. That I dont want the public to see.
Even if you have the post removed from here, it will be in googles cache and other browsers as well, for years to come.

So remember not to put anything on a post, on any website, that you dont want the world to see.

On google itself it said that it updates a page and removes the old information once it has been crawled again or if its requested by someone. im not sure but maybe somewhere in there it says that, not specifically those pages, i cant find it.

and yeah i know things from the web can exist long, i actually once found a post me and my sister made on a website 15 years ago haha

Oh i guess i should also mention that if an image doesnt show up on the first oh say 50 pages or whatever number google stops for certain results i totally consider the images gone even if its still on some storage since if it cant be found easily it doesnt matter.

Yes, it does say that it updates it’s pages and that “this is a picture taken on whatever date etc”
That hardly ever happens on these sort of popular websites, google just adds the latest posts since it’s last visit.
Your question above is there any way to force google etc, The answer is no, google will not remove it from their cache.

Then that’s OK then, it will move down the list quite quickly.

Oh hmmm i thought it just acted to preset rules so i didnt think a sites popularity would effect how it crawls it aside from the fact this site is rather large with the number of pages because of the posts made so numerous.

thats good but under some search terms my face shows up….. they are kind of obscure word combinations though but i have anxiety problems so i am paranoid. I cant remember where i heard this but i think i heard something about flooding multiple sites with the same terms and different images so that it will knock down the other ones or maybe it ment something else, im not sure. ^_^

only reason i even bother posting the images and page here was in hopes google would randomly crawl into here then get onto those pages again lol

Well if you remove the pictures from here,that’s if they are on your own posts, by edditing your post. that at least removes them from here, stops any one who follows the link from google. That will help a bit.
In fact remove the whole content from the post concerned, just leave the full stop.

They will as I say soon move down the google rankings and dissapear into obscuritty.

well yeah it is on my own post but its not in the opening post where i can edit it its in the comments somewhere that i can not edit. I didnt even know google could find images even when they didnt have image tags on them to be displayed as images, it was only direct links to images urls. *shrugs*

I guess i could report my own post to the help staff and ask if they would remove it? i would have done that earlier but i wasnt sure if it was best to remove it or to leave it and let it get crawled again.

i wont bother you much longer since i will be in bed soon, its almost 4 am lol

Like you say.
If it is in a reply, then you can ask a mod if they could remove it for you. Worth a try at least.

I have to go for a while, I am running a bit late Will look at your post later today.
