Stop Attachment image names from taking top level permalink

Don’t link to attachment pages anywhere on your site and it won’t matter what permalink they have. Search engines only see what you make public.

BTW another thing you can try is to upload only from within the post/page edit screen. That way attachments take up the parent post/page permalink. Sort of like

example.com/post-name/attachment-name.
