I accidentally uploaded an image in chat that contained some personal information. I deleted the chat message, but would like delete the image from SE's servers entirely. I've seen this question, with an answer that says because "the account belongs to SE, not you" I cannot delete an image.
However, because this image contains personal information, it really must be deleted. How can I go about doing so?
Flag it for moderator attention, and explain why you need it removed. Specifically, explain why just editing it out or deleting the post isn't good enough. If you've uploaded the image but it isn't present in a post and you still want it removed, flag any of your own posts for moderator attention and include the URL of the image you need to be removed.
If your explanation for the moderator indicates that there's a valid need, they'll pass it on to a staff member & they'll nuke it.

Shog9 was willing and able to delete it for me following this chat conversation
