  I tried to close down a domain (xsmen.wordpress.com) several years ago, but today I received an email notification after a user subscribed to the blog of that old domain.

  I logged in to the WordPress.com account associated with the domain, but when I click ‘My Site,’ I’m led to a page that says ‘You don’t have any WordPress sites yet.’ Yet when I go to https://xsmen.wordpress.com, the site is still up with the page header but just no content.

  How do I permanently delete this domain and its content so it no longer appears on the web?

  May be you logged in with a different email address.

  Hi there,

  That site is owned by a different account than the one you’re currently logged in. Since you have a received a notification on the email address that’s associated with that account, you can enter that email address on the following tool to reset the password for that account:
