Here, with the current version of WhatsApp, you can only remove that user but you can not delete his image or message. Later on, every group member will end up having that message or image. which will make you feel embarrassed or may the members will the group. Now, WhatsApp is going to save you from this situation.

This feature is currently under testing. WhatsApp will roll over it for everyone in next year 2023.Companion Mode Feature
