Short answerYou can't remotely delete a screenshot. Save evidence, don't pay or negotiate if you're threatened, report the account to the platform, and contact local authorities or a support service. For intimate images, services such as StopNCII.org can help block them on participating platforms.
If you're being threatened

- Assume anything shown on a screen can be photographed.
Frequently asked questions
Does VaultBolt prevent screenshots?
