  Hi there,

  I only see one site, http://popupinstitut.wordpress.com/, in the account you’re using to post here.

  You can delete a site on WordPress.com from the page at Settings ->General, but you need to be logged in as the owner of the site in order to do that.

  Hi! Thanks for the quick reply. It is correct that I only have one site with wordpress directly, but I am using the same email adress with our actual site http://www.popupinstitut.com, where I am using wordpress as well. It says that all wordpress content will be deleted and the email adress blocked for 30 days, if you delete the site. I am afrain that our actual site will be gone after deleting http://www.popupinstitut.wordpress.com. Will that be the case? Thanks for the help!

  I am using the same email adress with our actual site http://www.popupinstitut.com, where I am using wordpress as well.

  That site is using WordPress, but the open source software made by the community on WordPress.org, and it’s hosted at another hosting provider. So that site has no connection at all to either your WordPress.com site or account.

  Deleting your WordPress.com site, or even entirely closing your WordPress.com account, won’t have any effect at all over that other site :)
