    A few years ago, I created a WordPress blog at a domain that I own: https://mykinfolks.org/blog/.

    The blog was hacked. To remove the hacker’s code, I deleted all the WordPress files from my domain yet the link still exists and is tied to my WordPress account and listed as ‘RonVs Blog.’ It still points to the deleted files. The account email is (email visible only to moderators and staff) which I no longer use (although I still own the domain).

    Today, I purchased a new domain via the WordPress website, ronvincent.com, and assigned a new blog to this domain called ‘RonV’s Blog’ (NOTE: there is an apostrophe before the letter ‘s’). The account email is (email visible only to moderators and staff).

    Since I deleted all the WordPress files from my domain mykinfolks.com, I now need the WordPress techs to delete the old blog account which is ‘RonVs Blog’ with account email of (email visible only to moderators and staff) and pointed to the web address: https://mykinfolks.org/blog/

    I cannot delete this old blog since Jet Pack can no longer access it. PLEASE HELP!

    WP.com: Yes
    Jetpack: No
    Correct account: Yes

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

How to Delete Your Site ⚠️ Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to re-use its WordPress.com address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com). To permanently delete your WordPress.com website, follow these steps: Consider if you need to delet

    Can you please try deleting your WordPress.com blog again?

    Regarding your old blog, I disconnected the Jetpack from it, so it should be good now.
