I recently tried googling my full name and I saw my picture.
It was a photo I posted on facebook.
I want to remove this photof rom google.. How do i do that?
By the way, i removed the picture from facebook, but it still apears in google images..
And why out of all the pictures of my on facebook, google chose that particular one to have in their image results?
You can’t. Google updates its search every so often- usually every couple of weeks, i think, to include new images and delete old ones. A representation of your picture is stored on google servers, and will continue to show up for a while longer.
As for why it did it, its a result of google’s mysterious algorithm. If anyone figured out how it worked, and why, they’d be rich. Just goes to show you how cautious you need to be on the internet.

delete it from fb, then it’ll be gone when google next indexes images

Like most pictures you can right click on the picture and either delete it or move it to another folder.
I do it all the time and never realized it could be a problem for anyone.

You can’t. Google’s search engine has faced lot of criticism on this matter that it leaves no one in this world with any privacy. But in the end its their call. Unless you are some government official or something is very vital to your functioning has been stored in their index, they won’t remove it.

There is nothing that you can do.

from now on, if you dont want your face on the internet, dont put it up. you never know who will see it or where it ill end up!

Can’t, it’s in google’s cache.
If you’re lucky, the image disappears.
Otherwise, there are some company’s that are removing things from google for you. Use google to find them
