You probably have that picture in WordPress! That happened to me. I forgot I even had a WordPress account because I had it ages ago. The old picture that kept appearing in my emails was the photo uploaded to WordPress. I couldn't change the photo in Google no matter how much I updated it using Google's instructions .Log into WordPress and delete the photo and also turn off Gravatar so that the photo doesn't appear anywhere else. Or if you don't use your WordPress account anymore, do the above first THEN delete your account. It worked for me!

wow thanks a lot! i spent hours to figure it out but nothing would work. Forgot that I had an account on wordpress -- indeed, avatar linked to that profile was emerging from there 13 years later! Here is what they tell on WordPress. Go to your profile and enable 'Hide my photo and Gravatar profile'...

The avatar you use on WordPress.com comes from Gravatar(opens in a new tab), a universal avatar service (it stands for "Globally Recognized Avatar," get it?).

Your image may also appear on other sites using Gravatar whenever you're logged in with the email
