  I want to create a blog/website for my consulting business but first I want to delete the one named Pets to Go and all the other information that I created for a course I took. Can I do this without jeopardizing my ability to use my name to create a new site?

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

  This is a peer support forum where Volunteers and Staff work cooperatively to deliver WordPress.com support. There is no phone support here and we Volunteers do not provide support by email.

  Volunteers answer most questions posted into forum threads and Staff monitor. When Volunteers cannot provide the required support we flag threads for Staff attention.

  All blogs are independent and deleting one blog registered under any username account does not affect the others registered under the same username. 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. If you delete a blog URL it can not be used by you or by anyone else again. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Or you can delete the content and save the blog address – then the old blog can be reused in the future if you want or set it to Private and use it for testing and more learning

  Bulk delete contents of a blog & trash folders

  If you prefer you can make the blog in question private, retain the URL and delete the content in the blog.

  You can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.
  bulk delete images & media http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/#bulk-deletion
  bulk delete posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit
  bulk delete pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/#bulk-edit
  Here’s how to permanently delete Trash >

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.

  There is no limitation with regard to how many blogs you can register under the same username account. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  If you do register accounts for clients then note there is a method for transferring blog ownership to your clients’ username accounts.
