  Ok, so my original address was catherineelise.wordpress.com (changed it to another name then changed it to my current one which isnt the same, sorry for any confusion) and now i can´t chnage it back nor access it. When i go to that page it says “this user has deleted its account” but my posts still show up on google,etc. Is there any way to access my old blog with that address or can i never change it back/access it to disable google search again?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Read this please:

  6. The final option presented on this screen allows you to discard your current address. This option will permanently disable the address and you will not be able to reuse it. Only select this option if you are sure you will not use the address again. If you want to redirect traffic to the new blog, you can keep the address and purchase the Site Redirect upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/

  It’s my understanding from what you said above that you did not keep the address so that option is no longer available to you.
