  If you want to retain the content but block it from being viewed by the public or search engines, change your site visibility settings to Private. Here’s how: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  If you want to remove the content to start fresh, here’s how to empty the site of its current content: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/ There’s no backup file made for you prior to doing that, so if you want to retain the content as an XML file, make sure to export it first. https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
