  Hi,

  I have 5 old blogs that I want to delete permanently, but my email that I used to set them up is no longer active. Is there any way to delete them or do I just have to keep them there and just hidden? I’d rather delete them altogether to be honest.

  Thanks

  Anna

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

  Your last resort for obtaining access is to complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery with as much information as possible and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

  After you regain access you will be able to delete the blogs or make them private.

  Hi timethief,

  Thanks for your reply. I was able to transfer the blogs and delete them. Hopefully one day WordPress will be kind enough to let me cancel an account when I want to, but that is fine for now.

  Cheers

  Anna
