Can I use my other Blog URL for my Preimum Blog?
-
I purchased a Premium package. I tried to change my Blog URL, what happened instead is I now have another Blog with the Blog URL I want for my Premium purchase. Can this be fixed?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Yes, that is possible with the domain mapping upgrade, which is a part of your WordPress.com Premium upgrade. So I am sure I can help straighten things out for you. Firstly, what is the URL of the site you created by mistake? Can I delete that for you?
With that done, what is the site you want to use your custom domain with, and what is the URL that you are trying to bring with you from your other blog?
Thanks!

Hi Jerry! The name of the URL I created by mistake is “untanglingroots.” I want to keep that name. I have also decided to claim my domain using, untanglingroots. I would also like to keep the theme and content from “lovemovesmeblog”, doable?
Thanks! -
Well there is a way to move the content (which I see you have done) but not the theme. That you will have to start over again.
However, there is a way to rename lovemovesmeblog.wordpress.com to something else (like untanglingroots.com for example) by adding that custom domain. For visitors, your site would be at the URL you set as custom, and not the one we give you.
Would something like that work instead? Since you have the WordPress.com Premium package, a domain would be included at no cost.
Let me know and I will help sort it out. :)

Yes please :-)
Jerry, I think that might be the easiest thing for me to do..lol I’m looking for easy because I am seriously low tech! I will go now and claim that domain and then work on trying to figure out how NOT to mess that up!
Thank you so much for your wonderful assistance!
Send positive thoughts! LOL

That was fast. Good job! http://untanglingroots.com/
Here is a screenshot of what I see at your domain:
As for the untanglingroots.wordpress.com site you created by mistake, if you want to permanently delete your site, please follow this guide:

That is a great idea. In that case, by making your site “private” you can hide it from the internet, without deleting it.
Follow this guide to make your site “private” so only you and other members of the site can view it when logged in:

We try to live up to it!
