  Hello,
  I recently deleted a blog that had this address: pamushanaemthunzini.wordpress.com
  And now I want to change my current domain to that deleted name, but it is saying it is already taken. Can you help to change from pamushanaemthunziniblog.wordpress.com to pamushanaemthunzini.wordpress.com

  I hope it’s possible

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

  Hi there,

  It’s not possible to recycle any deleted blogs. So there’s no good news on this side. :(
  Check more about this in the link below:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  However, if the blog you deleted (pamushanaemthunzini.wordpress.com) is within the 30 days window of deletion, it can still be reversed. Please contact staff immediately.

  Check here:

  Hope this helps!

  Thanks

  Hello pamushanaemthunzini,

  If this domain name was permanently deleted longer than 30 days ago, you will not be able to use it again.

  Delete a Website

  If this domain name is approaching the 30th day, I would encourage you to use live chat support. You can access it by selecting the blue and white question mark in the lower right corner and selecting contact us.

  If you need further help accessing live chat support, follow this link:

  Thank you so much. The blog was deleted about a week ago. I have just written to support for it to be reversed. I hope it works out.
