Plugin cause my product images to deindex from google image search

Hello,
HAppy New Year to All!

Recently used this purge plugins thinking it would resolve the many soft 404 and crawl anamoly. I understand now, it is not the plugins function. However, the plugin should not cause product images to be deindex from google image search! It’s function if to deindex attachment/ images from actual google search results, not from the google image search!

Before using the yoast purge plugins, I had houndreds of product images on google image search results. If you clicked on the image it would take you to the actual product page, not the image urls, which in the case of ecommerce site, it is perfect.

This plugin should have not been use on our site, we didn’t have attachment urls indexed in google search results, however, did and still have a large amount of soft 404 and crawl anamoly related to image urls on our google search console. Since this plugins stated it will not harm the site, it was implemented with negative results. The plugin cause product images to get deindex from google images due to the 410 gone status code.

Please, how do we get all our product images reidexed in google images again?
As of now, the plugin was deleted. I verified the attachment mapping is no longer in the sitemap. I verified the attachment urls are no longer 410, they’re 301 to image url 200 status code. on Yoast seo image appearance it’s set to yes, redirect.
