Neither one of those blogs are self hosted WordPress.ORG software installs. They are both hosted by wordpress.COM.
All wordpress.com blogs are separate sites. What you do on one or to one has no impact on any other sites. To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog.

Lol sorry I’m still unsure what “self hosted” actually means..I thought it meant one that was free. I followed the instructions you have with the link & have managed to delete it permanently..THANK YOU!! I’m just starting out with my reviewblog site & still clueless with wordpress. I chose it as on a tight budget & a lot of bloggers use it but mines looks nothing like theirs, after I purchase a domain will that make a better difference to my blog like others please? Most people use blogspot.co.uk or ive seen a few use blogger & you purchase a custom domain with Google domains. I’m not trying to make money from my blog just own it & have it set up so company’s can see my reviews, blog posts & send me products to blog review. It says it starts at $18:00 on wordpress for registering a domain or blogger has sites like GoDaddy.com ect & it says it starts at 99p. I did check which was the best blogging platform 2015 & wordpress was always number 1, then tumblr or blogger. I Just want a nice blog layout with posts & images, that’s personal but will catch company’s attentions, especially if they’ve sent me things to blog about. Any advice tips ect would be much appreciated, I’m on a tight budget so can’t upgrade if it’s really expensive, I’m using penscratch theme as I need to be able to add contact, about menus, links & images plus add widgets. I actually added the Flickr widget by mistake in my site with the penscratch theme, it says you can remove it but unsure how? Also I’m relying on my iPhone5, library until I can save enough for a laptop. I’m sorry I’ve asked like a million questions❤️Xx
