If I want to completely delete my account will my domain muzyczkafilms.com be available for me to use in the future on other sites?

Are you asking about deleting your WordPress.com site? Or your entire WordPress.com account?
Your free blog address – for example, muzyczkafilms.wordpress.com – will never be available again for use if you delete that site.
If you purchased muzyczkafilms.com through WordPress, that stays under your account even if you delete your site. You can make a new site later, and reuse that domain name. However, if you want to fully close your account with WordPress.com, you’ll want to transfer your purchased domain name out to a different domain registrar so you can continue to manage that and use it again later.
Here are some helpful links on these topics:

Basically my problem is I deleted my domain muzyczkafilms.com from WordPress cause I thought I didn’t needed it anymore, but I forgot that it was still attached to my actual website with Wix.
I purchased muzyczkafilms.com through WordPress but then decided to transfer my domain over to Wix. Is there any way I can get my muzyczkafilms.com domain back? I tried looking everywhere but I have no idea what I’m doing.

(I apologize – I was thinking of a different provider and misspoke in my previous post, WordPress.com accounts cannot be fully deleted. https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/ )

It looks like the domain name muzyczkafilms.com is still registered to you, with WordPress.com as your registrar. (This is a separate product from the WordPress.com site you would have deleted.)
You can keep the domain registered here and point it to your Wix site, or you can actually transfer the name itself to a different domain registrar and go from there.
Here is more information on how domain names work, and what your options are for moving it, or pointing it to Wix, etc: https://en.support.wordpress.com/all-about-domains/

omg that’s so good to know that it’s still registered to me. Do you know how I could see that separate page with my registrar? I would like to transfer to domain name to GoDaddy but not sure exactly how. I went on my account but I don’t see anything there that says muzyczkafilms.com after I deleted it.
Also if I do keep it registered with WordPress how would I point it to my Wix Site if I can’t see anything on my WordPress Account for that domain name?

Domain management is usually listed under My Site, so I’m not sure how it behaves if you do not have any sites on WordPress.com. This should be a direct link to domain management: https://wordpress.com/domains/manage
If that does not get you there, please post here describing what you see when you try that link, and tag your post with “modlook” so you can get staff assistance.

Perfect! Sorry for all the trouble!
So I clicked the link which took me to select a site to manage (I apparently have 2) so I clicked the first one ‘muzyczkafilmscom.wordpress.com’
(The other one that was showing was ‘muzyczkafilmsdotcom.wordpress.com’)
When I clicked the site (muzyczkafilmscom.wordpress.com) it took me to the domains page for that site.
All it says is muzyczkafilmscom.wordpress.com underneath it says ‘included with site’ and next to that it has a green box saying ‘primary domain’ with a check mark next to it.Is that the correct stuff I should be seeing?
-
Yes, you are in the correct place.
You can switch over to your other site (at the top left corner, click Switch Site) and check to see if your muzyczka.com domain is listed under that site.
If it is not, try clicking the Add Domain button, and add muzyczka.com to one of your existing sites. From there you should be able to manage it as described on this page (check under Transfers for how to re-point it to Wix): https://en.support.wordpress.com/all-about-domains/

When I click ‘Add Domain’ it takes me to a page and it says ‘Already own a Domain’
Would I have to pay for this to map my original “muzyczkafilms.com’ domain name?
-
Let me recap what you’re seeing to make sure I understand – when you click Add Domain, you probably see two or three options that say Upgrade next to them, and then the last option is Already own a domain?
You are not seeing muzyczkafilms.com as an option somewhere above the Already own a domain? option, in that list? For either site?
If that correctly describes what you’re seeing, you will probably need staff assistance to get your domain re-assigned to a site so you can manage it. I am flagging your post for moderator review.
-
Yes, that’s correct. I don’t see muzyczkafilms.com anywhere. Thanks for all your help tho! I appreciate it.
Hoping someone can assist me with this so I can get my domain name re-assigned.

Howdy –
Thanks for the tag! I can help get this straightened out.
muzyczkafilms.com was cancelled from your account. In order to transfer it we need to get it restored and added back to your account first. I’ve gone ahead and sent off a note to our domain partner inquiring about this.
I should hear back within 48 hours and then I’ll post an update for you here.
This isn’t something that you can do from your WordPress.com dashboard, which is why you are going around in circles here.
