Remove Outdated Image Cache From Bing

Many of my outdated and deleted images have been turning up in Bing's image search results. I tried to have them updated and removed using Bing's content removal tool, but it seems to only work on pages, not cached images, unlike Google's content removal tool, which handles both. Some of these images are very old, so it doesn't look like it's going to be done automatically anytime soon.

    Hi Amelia,

    I assume you are asking about [Bing Webmaster Content Removal Tool][1] [1]: https://www.bing.com/webmaster/help/bing-content-removal-tool-cb6c294d

    For support with content removal, sign in to your WebMaster Tool account and create a Support incident there for your specific issue.

    If the content is not yours, go to Bing.com and create a search that produces the cache issue then choose "Feedback" to have the Search team review that result.

    Sincerely,
    IoTGirl

    Mr. Tie, I've had the same issue. How can we remove these old images that no longer appear on the original websites?

    @Amelia Wysocki were you ever able to get this resolved? If so, how?
