Shelf Life of Blogger Photos on Google

Google has a trend of not deleting content which is uploaded to their databases via Blogger, GMail, Caching or even photo uploads. So before you go uploading pics that you’ll later regret (like during a job interview in 15 years or when applying for security clearance), ValleyWag has a bit about photos1.blogger.com photos which are uploaded to Blogger and their post deletion shelf life.

When you delete a photo from your [Blogger] blog, it disappears from your blog. But it does not disappear from photos1.blogger.com, and Google/Blogger says there is NO WAY WHATSOEVER to delete any photo you have ever uploaded that Blogger has stored there.

Philipp at Google Blogoscoped looked a bit into this claim and saw that Google currently has 676,000 results of Blogger photos in their index.

“True or not? Here’s a site-search for photos1.blogger.com on Google Images.”
