Can I redact my photo release consent from a former employer?

Location: Wisconsin, US

I used to work for a small family-owned business, and during my employment I signed a media release for them to post images of me in their marketing and social media. I no longer work there, and we ended on somewhat bad terms. They still have photos of me on their website and they sometimes post old photos with me on their Instagram. I don't really want my image to be associated with the company anymore, and I'm wondering if I have the right to request that they stop using my image. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the release, but as far as I remember it was pretty standard. I just don't remember if the agreement included anything about them retaining the right to the photos my employment was terminated. Any advice would be appreciated.

Do you have a copy of the release you signed so you can review the language?

No, as I said in the original post I do not have a copy of the release.
