Can I remove all of my blog's content?
-
I’m trying to start a new travel blog and would like to use the account I made here years ago, but don’t want any of my old stuff on there. I was going to delete it but your site was telling me there are better ways of doing this, so now I’m “contacting support.” I’d also like to change my address to a .com. What is this process?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
You must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog. Then you can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.

Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.

All About Domains http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/all-about-domains/You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard at > Store > My Upgrades.
In order to map to a domain one must have an underlying .wordpress.com subdomain blog to map from and the domain name you desire must be available for purchase, or you must already own the domain URL.
As you have registered a .wordpress.com blog you log in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchase a domain name by purchasing an annually renewable domain mapping upgrade for the blog.
See here if you do not own a domain http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/

Dashboard > Store > My Upgrades is where you do the primary blog set up knowing it can take between 24 – 72 hours for domain name propagation to take place throughout the internet. You can view the DNS changes here > http://www.whatsmydns.net/ What’s important during that stage is to be patient.
