Received Email from Copytrack, What Should I Do?

I will proceed to delete the image because I am afraid that they will request my data from the hosting or domain provider. Should I change the URL of the article or not?

Just delete the image. Also ensure it is not stored in the server... sometimes if you use Wordpress optimisation plugins like WP Fastest Cache they store minified images with different resolution sizes, .etc.

Once removed, clear all website cache. If you're using a CDN provider remember to flush the cache too.

Then just ignore them from here on out. Sometimes they will send a follow up email especially if you've seen their email message or accessed their site to read the case... just ignore it.

If you engage, they will become obnoxious. Because they know they have someone to talk to, to scare with their tactics. They are asking for money for you using the picture, they don't care that you removed it.

Today I have received an email from this company, about the use of an image in one of my article from two years ago. They are demanding around 260 euros. I have deleted the image and updated the blog post, but yet haven't responded to them.
What should I do in your opinion? Has something like this happened to you guys before?
What happens If I ignore their email? I am not living in Germany, Europe or North America.

Hi I don't know if you will see this but I ran into a similar problem. I am a newbie in website development and received a similar email. I am new to all this and not knowing anything I in panic removed the image and replied to them asking them to drop the case . I truly has no financial means to pay such a large amount and now it seems I made a mistake replying. What should I do ?
