  Hi,

  I had to create an account here to manage a WooCommerce subscription, but have no need for a wordpress.com site and don’t want it affecting the search results for our main site. How can I deactivate the site but retain the account?

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

  You can make the site private rather than deleting it https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  re: deleting sites

  All sites are independent. What you do on one or to one has no impact on any other site. To delete a WordPress.COM hosted site 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/ note the alternatives provided there.

  Prior to deletion warnings are issued. Deleted wordpress.COM blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com

  *Replace “NAME_OF_BLOG” with the actual name of the blog in the URL above.
