Can you withdraw images after they sell?
BryonManning:
As far as I know, you can delete the image, but you will not be able to forbid the buyer to use your photo, because he has already bought it.

The buyer buys a license to use the image
BryonManning:
So I bought a picture for my blog article https://essaydragon.com/blog/attention-grabbers [nofollow]. The author wanted to cancel the purchase, but I refused. The picture remained on my site.

As noted above, what you purchased was a license (I assume royalty free).
It's very unusual for a photographer to want to "cancel the purchase" - can you explain why someone who licenses their work would want to undo a license sale?
You would need to abide by the terms of the license (most prohibit you from re-licensing the image, for example) but otherwise you're OK to use the image.
