Can you un-delete a site?
-
Can you un-delete a site? I did not realize the URL would never be able to be used again! I would have just switched my site names around. UGH!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
The answer is no.
Sorry. That is not possible. You ignored all the warnings and deleted the site https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/, rather than emptying it https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/ or transferring the blog to another username account http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
Deleting a blog URL is not easily done and multiple warnings that deletion is intended to be permanent and non-reversible are given all along the way. An email with a link in it that must be clicked to delete the site is sent and if clicked the URL is gone.
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

This site has not been deleted https://spensergoodwin.wordpress.com/
The admin login link is https://spensergoodwin.wordpress.com/wp-admin/If the log-in information is lost you need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If you are not successful see Account recovery https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/
If that is not the site then, what is the exact URL starting with http:// of the wordpress.COM hosted site you refer to please?
And, exactly which wordpress.COM username account registered that site?
This is wordpress.COM support. I’m asking because we cannot accurately answer questions posted here until we have confirmed the URL referred to and verified the hosting.
We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page. -
I have multiple sites. The site I deleted is https://minnowpeck.wordpress.com. I registered the site under this account.
-
https://minnowpeck.wordpress.com is no longer available.
The authors have deleted this site.It’s history now and you cannot recycle and reuse the URL for 2 years as I posted above. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

I understand this.
I do not understand why I did not receive an email to give permissions to delete the site… -
-
I’m not worried about the receipt. I’m worried that I did not get the email to approve the deletion for future.
For example, if my wordpress account were hacked and someone deleted all my sites and I never received any email confirmation, then I would be screwed. -
Yes, I understand that and this thread is already tagged for Staff intervention.
There is a single email address that can be used on only one username account and not on any others, regardless of how many blogs are registered under that username account. The blog’s owner can change the relevant email address on their accounts page at https://wordpress.com/me/account
*If and when you change it an activation email will be sent to the email address entered there. Please confirm that email address.
As you are having trouble receiving the email please also check your email client spam filter and if you use a Gmail or Google Apps account please see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/gmail-issues/

Thank you for your help so far.
I’m the only account with access to the specific blog that I deleted, so I think I still should have recieved an email
