    As i know you cant really block images.google.com now when google indexed yours images. Yes you can you can delete yours domain from google index and leave it to reindex it again.(but this is waste of time and bad for yours rankings).

    But you can prevent this from happening in the future.
    robots.txt
    User-agent: Googlebot-Image
    Disallow: /

    Then google wont index yours images again....
