  Hello, I want to start a new blog, but I want to get rid/delete the ones I already started and completely start over and I’m not sure how to do this without permanently closing my account first.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

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

  – your username

  – the email address at https://wordpress.com/me/account

  – the address aliyahswanderlust.wordpress.com

  – the look of that site

  – the content, comments, and images

  I’d like to get rid of the name “aliyahswanderlust”, the look of the site and any content on there.

  A better option might be to set the site to private, rather than deleting it all. Just in case you decide in the future to use it again or retrieve those posts. This option hides the site from search engines, and only the account owner can even view it.

  If permanent site deletion is the best option then you’ll do that with these instructions:

  Delete a Website

  You’re able to add a new site and start new projects at any time. You don’t have to worry about having multiple sites linked to your 1 account, that’s not an issue.
