remove cached image from google image search
 

Hi
I have aquired some ADULT websites, and some old images appear in google image search cache which I need to delete, I'm not happy with them

I have obviously deleted them locally 5 days ago, any ideas how to remove? its a wordpress site and images are in domain.com/wp-content/images folder

I have google webmaster tools, surely theres an easier way than removing each image one by one?

Submit a fresh sitemap for crawling and wait for the older to be deindexed

the sitemap only indexes the pages, not the actual images?

You can (should) make image sitemaps.

https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-image-sitemap/
https://wordpress.org/plugins/udinra-all-image-sitemap/

btw you should also redirect the deleted images 404 links back to your homepage to avoid losing any traffic

It's okay to have a normal sitemap and an image sitemap under same site in webmaster tools?

in fact I just made an image sitemap, and it made a sitemap of all images I have removed also :(

any other ideas?
