Looks like it should work.

Good to know. I assumed it’s similar to webpages where you’d have to include a NoIndex for it to be removed first before adding it in the robots.txt files but I suppose you can’t really do that with images. Thanks.Looks like it should work.

So would this actually work or will I need to use: User-agent: Googlebot-Image

Googlebot-Image makes sense if you only want the images to disappear from Google Image results. * would block all spiders (including Googlebot-Image) which comply with this directive.

Great, thanks for the confirmation!

And to get Google to update Robots.txt instantly... Just press the submit button (and pick
Ask Google to update) in this wizard: Google Search Console
Use Search Console to monitor Google Search results data for your properties.
