  I can’t delete my blog the way you describe in the “help” section, since I don’t have access to the e-mail this account is linked to. Therefore, can you help me delete either just the blog or the entire account? I don’t want old users and old websites I have had to appear when someone is searching for my name.

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

  Can you change the e-mail address associated with the account via this page http://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/users.php?page=grofiles-user-settings ?

  With the e-mail address changed, you should be able to follow the Delete Site process.

  Hope that helps! Cheers!

  You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog and who is the Admin of the blog to access it and delete it.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  As you have lost your login information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  and if required click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery.

  Provided you are logged in under the Admin username account that registered the blog in question you can delete any blog registered under that username by using these instructions. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  After you do that if you cannot locate a verification email, look in your email client spam/junk mail filter for the email with the blog deletion verification link in it and click that link. If clicking it does not work then copy and paste the link into your upper browser bar and click.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/ You may want to make the blog private instead. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
