My robots.txt excludes bots from image folders.

But in Yahoo, I noticed that while it is not caching the images, the bot has indexed all of our image folders such as [mysite.com...]

How do I prevent this? They are indexing folders with no html, just image files.

Thanks,
Jackie

Edited to add: The URL I am concerned about is a 301 to a new domain.

I tried to get the images out of Google using the removal tool and KILLED the site for Google. I accidentally removed the entire URL.

Yahoo is listing 4 pages of my domain and many of them weren't to be indexed.
