  I deleted this site and closed the account ~4 months ago, I can’t log in, but the site (woodburyprayerbreakfast.wordpress.com) is still fully live and publicly accessible. I was the only user on the account at the time. The only receipt I have regarding the closure confirmation is an email, I tried using the account recovery form, but do not see a way to attach a copy of that email to this form. There is no transaction ID in the email, or URL, or key the confirmation email. It only says that the account and any sites associated with the account have been deleted. If you can show me a way to attach a copy of that email for confirmation, I would be happy to do so. Please permanently remove this account/site.

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

  Hi there, and thank you for reaching out. To help clarify, the account that owns the website woodburyprayerbreakfast.wordpress.com appears to still be active on WordPress.com.

  If you had previously closed a WordPress.com account, it is possible that the account was not the owner of this website. To delete this site, you’ll need to directly access the active account that owns the website.

  The best option to request access to another account is to use our Account Recovery form. Follow the instructions on this form and provide as many details as possible to verify your ownership, and our team will review your request and determine how to regain access to your account.

  If you still have trouble with completing this form, let us know in another reply, and our team can send a secure follow-up email to assist you further

  Alternatively, if you still have access to the confirmation email you mentioned, feel free to reply directly to it to reach our support team. We’ll be able to securely confirm if the account is closed, and whether or not the website is associated with the account.
