  I have to blogs. I’d like to eliminate one that I don’t plan on using and need assistance in doing so.

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

  Hi there. Deleting the blog will wipe out both the content AND the address, cannot be undone and cached copies of the page may still exist on search engines for several weeks. Consider setting the blog to private rather than deleting. If it then comes up in search results visitors will only see a page stating that the blog is private. You can then use that private blog as a test or backup site for your regular one.

  If you still want to delete it, you can do so from Tools ->Delete Blog in the WP-Admin dashboard. To delete your blog you must be logged in under the exact same username with which you created it. To prevent accidental deletion there will be multiple warnings that it cannot be reversed and you will have to click on a link in a confirmation email before your site will be deleted. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
