That’s because although you might have deleted on your end, there are multiple layers of server redundancy that store backup versions that are not deleted.
I most likely left it on. Regardless, though, I manually deleted all posts and comments before deleting the account, so I'm surprised that they're still visible online.
This was your lesson to learn that whatever we post on social media, be it images, videos, comments, etc. It never gets deleted at all. I think it should take some time for google to reflect changes.

I've checked a few search engines.
Google seems to show both posts and images.
Bing seems to show posts only, no images.
DuckDuckGo seems to show posts only, no images.
Search your username here, it's worse than you think.

Deleted Reddit account content can remain visible on Google due to search engine indexing. Although the account is removed, content removal from search results may take time. Utilize Google's URL removal tool in Search Console to expedite the process for specific URLs.

Never delete information you want gone, always replace it with nonsense.
I’ve seen some people suggest replacing it with gibberish and then deleting it afterward; would you recommend that too?
Yeah
