  I deleted my blog for some personal reasons, and I want to make a new one using the same url as the old one (wildspiritwolf.wordpress.com) It says the url already exists and still belongs to the deleted blog. I want to know if there is any way I will be able to use it again?

  No you can’t. Deleted blog URLs here are not recycled. That’s why 3 warnings are given and why a vertfication link in an email that must be clicked is sent in order to accomplish deletion.

  No.

  If you delete a site you will not be able to get it back and no one else will be able to use that site address. You must be sure you never want to use the site again if you delete it.
