  I would like for you to delete all the content from my blog. I want to customize it from scratch.

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

  You have two options:

  (1) Doing this yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  (2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.

  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.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove indexed content 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):

  If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then 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.

  Thanks for the quick response!

  This information is very helpful! I can’t thank you enough. I think I’m going to clear it myself!

  Good idea because twiddling your thumbs while waiting can be very frustrating. :)
