  I deleted a domain a long time ago, and want to use it again. Unfortunately, wordpress won’t let me, stating that the website no longer exists. I know this, because it was mine before. Is there any way to be able to use that domain again?

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
