Created a wordpress blog that I can't retrieve
-
Hi
I created a wordpress blog using a different account.
I now can’t access that account to remove the blog I created.
The blog is empty (has no posts). I would like to have it deleted.
If I use my other wordpress account and add in the blog domain it says it’s taken (it’s taken by me and that’s the one I want to delete).
Please help.
How can I request deletion of a blog name (with no content) that I created but can no longer retrieve. -
You provided no username accounts and no URLs, so we have zero to work with and cannot help you. Please provide all relevant details now.

Log out and clear your browser cache and cookies.
https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache
https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookiesThen log in under the correct username account and delete the blog or make it private.
To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site.
The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

Hi
I created a blog called memoirsoflaleisha.wordpress.com
but now I can’t retrieve it and can’t log into that account.
I have another main account which I use for work, and if I type in the memoirsofaleisha WP url, it says it’s taken. It is taken by me but I can’t access it. How do I retrieve it or gain access so I can start posting under that blog?
The memoirsofaleisha.wordpress account should be registered under the same email as my other main WP account (username as shown) but it is not listed as one of my blogs. -
Hi @opulentgypsy,
I tried to visit memoiroflaleisha.wordpress.com, but I get a “memoiroflaleisha.wordpress.com does not exist” page instead. Can you confirm that is the correct url?
I have tagged this for staff attention. Hopefully they can get a better look at what’s going on. Make sure to subscribe so you will be notified when a staff member responds. Good luck!

re: https://memoirsofaleisha.wordpress.com/
Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.
You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.
Clicking this link should display all blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibilityIf the log-in information is lost visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If you are not successful, then please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.
