I recently deleted a post where I shared a couple of selfies, and I'm really worried about them still showing up on Google search. Does anyone know if these images will eventually be removed, or am I stuck with them appearing online forever? It's super frustrating since I'm not comfortable with my face just floating around the internet. Any insights would be appreciated!

When you delete a post, the images don't automatically disappear from Google. They might stick around for a while because search engines can take time to update. If your profile is deleted, user details go away, but the images could still linger. Just keep an eye on them for a bit; they should fade from search results eventually.
Yeah, it’s a pain. It doesn't even have to be the exact selfies; any close-ups can sometimes pop up in searches. I tried getting my images removed via a content request to Google, but it didn’t work out, which added to my frustration.
I hear you! It's tough to get those things down. I found a link that might help with asking Google to remove private info. Maybe it’ll work for you? [Remove my private info from Google Search](https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/9673730?hl=en)
That's what I was worried about! I already deleted everything, but it’s still stressing me out.
