  I opened my account with an email associated with a different project that I use WordPress on, and it affected that other WordPress site. So I changed my email in the app here to a different email address but it made me have to start all over to read input all my data for this new account. Also, now the free website that I had established initially to also taken. What if I delete my initial account that I created with the wrong email address, will it free up that website handle that I want? But if I do that the other WordPress site that I have using that initial email will be affected if I cancel and delete. What do I do?

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there,

  I can confirm you have closed this account. If you wish to reopen it you can reply to the email we sent you confirming the closure.

  What if I delete my initial account that I created with the wrong email address, will it free up that website handle that I want?

  Please note we do not re-use site addresses, even in cases where the site is abandoned or has been closed by the previous owner. More info here: https://wordpress.com/support/changing-site-address/#reuse-other-word-press-com-site-addresses
