If you want to delete the images posted on your site from the search results in Google, there are several ways. Before starting this, it is important to understand that for the successful removal of images, they also need to be removed from the site or block them with appropriate methods.
To quickly remove the images posted on your site, from the search results in Google, use the "Delete" tool. However, keep in mind that if you do not delete the images from your site or do not apply other images blocking methods, they may again appear in the search results after the expiration of the request for removal.
There are two ways to remove images from your site from the results of the Google search:
Both methods have the same effect, select the method that is more convenient for your site. Remember that in order for Googlebot to extract http headers, it is necessary that the URL images are available for scanning, so the use of both methods does not make sense.
If you do not have access to the site on which the images are posted (for example, to the CDN), or if your CMS does not support image blocking using HTTP headers X-Robots-Tag or Robots.txt, you may have to remove the images from your site completely.
To exclude images from your site from the search in Google, add the Robots.txt file to the root of the site on which the images are posted. For example, https: //vashsait.example.com/robots.txt. This method requires more time to delete images compared to the “removal” tool, but it gives more flexibility and control through the use of substitution signs or blocking for subcatals. In addition, it works for all search engines, while the “removal” tool is used only for Google.
For example, if you want to exclude the Dogs.jpg image posted on your site at yoursite.example.com/images/dogs.jpg, add the following rule to the Robots.txt file:
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /images/dogs.jpg
At the next bypass, Google will see this rule and eliminate the image from search results.
You can use special characters for greater flexibility and control. In particular, the * symbol can be used to specify any set of characters, which allows you to compare several ways to images with one rule.
To remove several images from your site from the Google search indexation, add the Disallow rule for each image or use the * symbol in the file, if the images have a common names structure. For example:
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
# Repeating rules 'Disallow' for each image:
Disallow: /images/dogs.jpg
Disallow: /images/cats.jpg
Disallow: /images/llamas.jpg
# Symbol * in the file name for images with a common suffix. For example, the image Animal-picture-unicorn.jpg and Animal-picture-squirrel.jpg in the Images catalog will correspond to this pattern:
Disallow: /images/animal-picture-*.jpg
To exclude all the images on your site from the Google search indexation, add the next rule to the Robots.txt file:
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /
To delete all files of a certain type (for example, exclude only .jpg images, but not .gif), use the following entry in the Robots.txt file:
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /*.gif $
Indicating Googlebot-Image as user-agent, images will be excluded only from Google Images. If you want to exclude images from all Google searches (including Google Search and Google Images), specify user-agent: Googlebot.
Alternatively, you can delete images from your site from the Google search results by adding a X-Robots-Tag title with the Noindex attribute to HTTP headings for images that you want to exclude. It is important that the URL images be available for scanning so that Googlebot can extract the Noindex rule. To implement this method, follow the documentation on the use of Noindex.
Please note that adding noMageindex tag to a specific page will also interfere with the indexation of images built into this page. However, if the same images appear on other pages, they can be indexed through these pages. To guarantee that the image will be blocked, regardless of where it appears, use the HTTP X-Robots-Tag headline with the Noindex attribute.
If you want to delete the image from a site that does not belong to you, follow the recommendations in the Google Search documentation to remove images from search results.
