A Deleted Blog Is Still posted even though I deleted it Through My Dashboard
-
So I’m preparing to make some changes and I did a google search and found this old blog that I deleted long ago is somehow still up and links back to my profile.
https://jbfairybirdsimstories.wordpress.com/
The blog no longer is on my dashboard so there is nothing I can do to get rid of it
Please, help.

To be clear its not at: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs
I should have posted the link to my work site too:

Hi there, it looks like jbfairybirdsimstories.wordpress.com belongs to a different WordPress.com account ‘jbfairybirdsimstories’
To delete that site, you’d need to first log out of this account you’re using to post to these forums at https://wordpress.com/me (click on the Log Out button on the left side) and then visit the Log In page at https://wordpress.com/log-in If you have access to the email address associated with that account, you can either reset the password by clicking on the Lost Password link there or send yourself an email with a one-time log-in link by clicking on the “Email me a login link”.
If you don’t remember the email address and you had email notifications of new comments or feedback on your site, you could try leaving a comment or filling out a contact form on that site and then checking all your active email accounts to see where the email notification goes.
Barring that, you’ll need to recover your account following the support guide at https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/
Once you have access to the site you can delete it following this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/
If you want to delete the entire account, including all the sites under it, you can follow this guide: https://wordpress.com/support/close-account/
Hope that helps, but post back here if you have other questions about this.

Hi,
I tried logging in but I don’t have the email I was using at the time anymore. The form asks for information that I also don’t have anymore.
The only proof I can provide is that jbfarybirdsimstories has my Gravatar linked to it that shows on my account.
Here you can go to both sites to verify they are linked in some way.
https://jbfairybirdsimstories.wordpress.com/
https://goodpetsgoodlife.wpcomstaging.com/
My gravatar shows up on the Jbfairbirdsimstories site and when I click on it there it goes to my gravatar page. I can email a picture if someone can contact me in some way to prove it.
I need help to unattach or delete it.
