Cant remember email address
-
I have an old blog that has old work on it. I can’t remember the email address associated with it. Support has been pretty much non responsive helping me figure out the email address so I can log in and shut down the account. It’s tied to my name during Google Searches and I need it removed because its old design work from 5+ years ago. How can I go about getting back into the account to shut it down. The url is nickiesnyder.wordpress.com . I am currently using a different account for my portfolio with this email address and happy to provide you all that info. Maybe someone can help as I’d hate to file a legal claim to have it removed.

You haven’t a legal leg to stand on.
After you recover the account you will be able to delete the blog you created if that is your intention.
You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog to delete it. Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address so you must be sure you never want to use the blog again if you delete it. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. We cannot help with search engine issues.
