  I’m sorry but that’s not possible. There are no exceptions made. Deleted blog URLs here are not recycled.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  That’s why 3 warnings are given and why a verification link in an email that must be clicked is sent in order to accomplish deletion.

  You can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain vis a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.

  the blog: boubakr.wordpress.com isn’t mine, and I can’t register another blog with a similar name (Sorry, that site already exists!) however it’s not :/

  A similar name means that you would add a number before or after boubakr. Or you could substitute 0 (zero) for o or something like that.

  You cannot re-use the name “boubakr.wordpress.com”

  If you need that name, then check out the domain mapping upgrade as timethief suggested.
