  I don’t want my wordpress blog anymore. It was for an organization and we’re using a different website. How do I close it?

  Also, there is an old WordPress site for our SWEPP organization. No one knows how to access it or get rid of it. We’d like it gone as it has old information. How do we get rid of it?

  Thanks,
  Jennifer Forsythe

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

  Hello there,
  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

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

  You must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog ie. as the blog’s sole owner to delete the blog.

  To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
