Hello @valarierose,
If you want to completely get rid of the old site then you can just delete that site.To delete a site/blog, go to My Sites > Settings > Delete Site(at the very bottom of the page). Or just click here: https://wordpress.com/settings/general/
or here:
https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/YOURSITENAME.wordpress.comReplace YOURSITENAME with the actual name of the blog from your url.
NOTE: To delete a WordPress.COM site/blog you must be logged in as an Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog.
If you cannot login to your account, and you have forgotten the password then you can reset your password by going here: https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If you do not remember the email ID and username associated with your account and want to recover your account then go here:
https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery. Someone from the WordPress staff will contact you via email on the email address provided by you on the What email address should we contact you at? field.You can read more about account recovery here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/More information on deleting sites here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/Deleting a site/blog is an irreversible process. Once your site/blog is deleted it cannot be recovered again. Even the blog address of the deleted site cannot be used again by anyone. (Not even by the owner). This is done to prevent your blog from being impersonated by someone else.
If you wish to keep your blog address and still delete all the contents of your blog, then you might wanna consider emptying your site instead of deleting it.
You can follow the instructions given here to empty your site:

Thank you so much and that was helpful. I was able to delete the account.
Unfortunately, my valarierose.wordpress.com account settings still lists the web address as: http://valariewrites.wordpress.com and says it will publicly display that address when I comment on blogs, which I don’t want.
Will you please teach me how to change the web address associated with my account?
Thank you!

To change the web address associated with your account:
Click on your profile picture on the top right corner of the blue navigation bar. On the sidebar click Account Settings or just click here: https://wordpress.com/me/account and then, change your web address on the field labelled Web Address. Finally, click Save Account Settings.
