Cannot delete a blog for which I've been made owner
-
I want to delete a blog that someone else set up and then left for me to administrate.
It is the only blog I have in
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Sorry, pressed the button to publish the question by mistake and now I cannot edit it.
I was saying that the blog that I cannot delete is the only blog left in my account.
For some reason I don’t get the option to delete the blog in the admin panel.I want it gone. What can I do?

If you don’t have the option to delete the site under My Blogs or on the site itself under Dashboard>Tools>Delete Site, then you are not the site owner or an Admin of the site.
When you go to http://psydesignuk.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs do you see that site? If so, you can see what user role you have been assigned. (If you don’t see the Role column, you may have to enable it under the Screen Options tab in the upper right corner of your browser window.)
What do you see when you hover your mouse over the site name?

Hi there,
It looks like you are set as an editor of this site, but you are not the owner of it. Only the owner of a site can delete it. You will need to get in touch with the owner and ask them to delete it if you would like it to be taken offline.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,
My sister helped me create my site https://brincarnojardim.wordpress.com/ but as she was the owner and I want to be the owner, she deleted the site.
I created a new one: https://brincarnojardim1.wordpress.com/ in the meanwhile and now I want to move it to the previous one https://brincarnojardim.wordpress.com/ since she already deleted but I can’t even informing that the author has deleted. Can you help me? Thank you!

Hi @minijardim15,
In the future, please create a new thread for new help topics, as this is not related to this issue. You can do so right here: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/?new=1
In this case, there is unfortunately not anything which can be done. Once a blog name has been deleted it cannot be used again (there are warnings which say this during the deletion process, so your sister would have seen this as she was deleting the site). We cannot make that blog name available for you. You can change your blog name to some other name using this process however: http://en.support.wordpress.com/changing-blog-address/
