Re: Google Cached Images

Here's Google's information on removing content from their cache:

Remove an image from Google Image Search

Remove cached pages

You can also try uploading a different (1x1 and blank) image using the
exact same filename and location. Keep the reference to the image in the
pages where it used to be - it'll effectively be invisible. When Google
next indexes those pages, the blank will replace the old image in their
cache.
