    Ah yeah, that’s super common with Jetpack — it likes to hang on to sites even after they’re gone. Here’s how to properly remove a deleted site from Jetpack so you stop getting those annoying downtime notifications: 📌 Steps to remove a deleted site from Jetpack 1️⃣ Log into your WordPress.com account

    2️⃣ Go to My Sites

    • In the top-left corner, you should see a My Sites menu.
    • Your staging site will still show up there, even though it’s been deleted.

    3️⃣ Remove the staging site

    • Click on the staging site.
    • Go to Settings (in the left menu).
    • Scroll all the way down to the Danger Zone section.
    • You should see an option like Disconnect Jetpack or Remove site.
    • Confirm the removal.

    4️⃣ (Optional but smart) Clear out lingering connections in your actual live site

    • If your staging site was a clone of your live site, it’s possible Jetpack got confused and thinks both are the same site.
    • To make sure your live site is correctly connected:
      • Go to Jetpack > Dashboard on your live site.
      • Check if everything looks good and that it’s only showing your live domain.
      • If in doubt, you can disconnect Jetpack on the live site and reconnect to refresh everything.

    5️⃣ You’re done — no more ghost notifications.
