  Provided you are logged in under the Admin username account you can delete any blog registered under that username by using these instructions. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Note that deleted blog URLs are not recycled. If you delete the blog the URL cannot be reused by anyone.

  You may want to make it private instead > http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting a blog or blog content does not remove any indexed content from appearing in 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.
