How can i get rid of an image from google?

Q. a friend of mine has an image on google and she wants it gone. Trouble is she don't own the domain its hosted on and the owner refuses to help remove it.

A. The only way you can get an image removed is to have the owner of the website it is on to remove it or block it.

The exception is if the image is copyrighted by your friend and the owner of the website is hosting it without your permission. If that is a case, send a DMCA letter to Google (see link). If it is just an embarrassing photo or something like that, then your only hope is to get the owner of the website to remove it.

If the owner is refusing to help, then you might have to get a little legal on them. Lawyers can be expensive, but anyone can write their own cease and desist letter. Cease and desist letters are legal letters which say, "do what we say or we'll sue." Of course, you don't actually have to sue, but the letter should make it sound like you intend to, which is usually scary enough for people to do what you ask.

Follow the form shown in the sample letter (link below) and make it sound very formal and legal-ish. Send the letter via registered mail or something where they have to sign to receive it. That will help them understand that you mean business.
