  Hi,

  You can do it by manually deleting the contents. An automated process is also available which can be performed by a Staff. Here you can find more details about the manual and automatic processes of removing contents (emptying site): https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Please read the following links for guidelines to delete –

  Posts: http://support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#deleting-posts

  Pages: http://support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/#delete-pages

  Categories: http://support.wordpress.com/posts/categories/#bulk-actions

  Tags: http://support.wordpress.com/posts/tags/#managing-tags

  Media: http://support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/

  And if you find the above process complex, you may get staff help by adding “modlook” in this post’s tags on the sidebar.

  Cheers.

  @rometravelservices
  If you want to retain the blog URL (note that no deleted URL can be registered again). https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/ and you are willing to wait rather than doing this yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/ then Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

  If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait in the queue for that to happen then you type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention and post again into this thread to:

  (1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
  (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it 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. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
