  I want to delete my blog (kowalker.com) but it won’t allow me to. I get this message:

  “Warning! You cannot delete a blog if the blog has a domain registration upgrade. You must have access to the blog in order to get to the domain manager.”

  I have access to my domain manager, but I don’t know how to DELETE the blog.

  I do NOT want to simply make it “private” or “hide it” from the upper toolbar. I want to DELETE it.

  Please, help. Thanks.

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

  You must first transfer the domain to another registrar

  Thanks. A year ago, it wasn’t this difficult. I just deleted it and boom, it was gone. Why the tons of extra steps?

  Did you have domain on that one – registered through wordpress.com?

  Yes I did. I wasn’t required to do all this jumping thru hoops.

  Just visited the link. Nowhere on this domain manager site is there an option for DELETE.

  Please, help.

  The domain manager is for managing the domain, not for managing the blog, and because the blog has a domain attached to it you cannot simply delete the blog, because you will lose control of the domain.

  As I cannot find anything on this in the Support docs I suggest you contact Support directly about the correct steps.
