  I registered with Bluehost and then in error went to wordpress.com to create blog. I have since exported my blog info over to the proper Bluehost wordpress account. Now I need to delete my account with you. How can I do that? Can you do it for me.

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

  You need the account for JetPack. Have you installed the Jetpack plugin and activated it and moved your subscribers? http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/moving-your-subscribers/#wordpress-com-to-self-hosted-site

  You can set your wordpress.com blog visibility to private. To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  I did not connect jet pack. Instead I exported all my info to the Bluehost site which is up and running. I simply do not want to see thehormonalhomemaker.wordpress.com site when someone uses a search engine to view my blog.

  To delete a WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  IMPORTANT NOTE: We cannot help with search engine issues. Deleting blogs and/or content in themt 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. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
