Well robots.txt file cannot restrict the direct link to a file it just does not allow google to index . Also it will take some time for google to recognize the robots.txt new rule and remove the unwanted links from its index . https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/9689846?hl=en

You have to add one more rule in robots.txt :

User-agent: *
Disallow: /members-directory

User-agent: *
Disallow: /wp-content/uploads
