    Facebook retains pictures for 3 months after they're deleted. Also, your page might not have updated straight away. Additionally, if they had viewed your page before and that image had been there, the second time they may have just been viewing the copy that was cached on their machine.

    It's worth noting that once you upload something to Facebook, they NEVER permanently delete it.

    1. Somebody can always copy the picture while its online

    2. Facebook keeps the picture on there servers for a while. I guess using some back door way they could find it.
