I believe the answer is:

avatar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'deleting content image online' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'american tax adviser' is the wordplay.
'american' becomes 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names).
'tax' becomes 'vat' (British sales tax).
'adviser' becomes 'ar' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'a'+'vat'+'ar'='AVATAR'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for avatar that I've seen before include "New embodiment of a familiar idea" , "Incarnation of a Hindu deity in human or animal form" , "Cyberspace person's image" , "Incarnation; film (2009)" , "Blockbuster film" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
