  Hi!

  Some time ago I deleted my URL but now I wanted to change back to it and it says “Sorry, that site is reserved!” even though I checked the address and the information there states that page has been deleted. How can I get my URL back?

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

  Hello!

  Once a URL is deleted you can never ever get it back. WordPress.COM does this for security reasons, after all if it was allowed than someone would get your old WordPress.COM URL and pretend to be you.

  So even the URL owner (in this case me) can’t get it back? Or is there still any way to get it back?
  Otherwise I see no point in it…

  That is correct. Once a WordPress.COM url is deleted (your site/blog) you cannot recover it.

  If you want to get your content back there *may* be a way to find it using Google’s Cache OR the Wayback Machine
