  Thank you for your help. I can now see the site on the web, but it doesn’t appear in my account as a separate site. Please could you fix this for me? Thank you very much for your help so far.

  Dear WordPress staff

  I have same problem as well. I accidentally deleted my WordPress site.

  in the past, I used to delete My WordPress site by using wrong email, unfortunately I lost my email password. so I can’t access my WP account to cancel or recover it.

  recently I just find out the correct e-mail and I really want to recover my WP site.

  I would like to recover faiqfalahi.wordpress.com. Can WordPress staff help me?

  Hi @faiqfalahi,

  I checked faiqfalahi.wordpress.com and found out that it was deleted 9 years ago. In accordance with our policy, it is possible to reverse a site deletion for the first 30 days after a site is closed. Once the 30 days have passed, all of the site data is purged and cannot be restored, and the site address is deleted and cannot be reused. You can find more details on this here: https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/

  I understand this might not be the news you were hoping for, but the good news is that there’s no shortage of free .wordpress.com addresses, and you can create a new site with a similar address. If you are fond of the name faiqfalahi, there are still options available. You can register a domain such as faiqfalahi.com or faiqfalahi.blog and use it as your site’s address. Both of these domains are currently available, and you can register them for free when you upgrade to one of our annual plans.

  If you’re interested in exploring our plans and their features, you can check them out here: https://wordpress.com/pricing/

  Let me know if you have any other questions, and I’ll be happy to help.
