Hi there,
To delete your blog, please follow the instructions here:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/Please note that if you delete your site, you will not be able to use the blog address again so double-check and make sure you delete the correct one.
Alternatively, you can just set the blog you don’t want as private instead of deleting it in case you might want to use the blog address again someday.
Good luck an let me know if you have other questions!

Hello there,
To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

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

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.
Here’s how to deactivate your account:
All you were required to provide to register an account here was an email address that can be replaced at any time.Any personal information that you voluntarily posted can also be removed at any time.
Although username accounts are not deleted, so you cannot be impersonated and have your reputation affected by anyone registering the same username in the future, there are steps you can take that amount to removing all personal information and result in leaving only a throwaway email address behind. http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/
1. You can go to My Account->Edit Profile and remove all data except the account name and an email address. Create a throwaway email address and change the account email to that throwaway address. This only leaves the username behind.
2. To unsubscribe from email sent to you from WordPress.com, go here and click on “Block all subscription emails from WordPress.com”:
https://wordpress.com/settings/notifications/3. To ensure the account is locked up tightly, visit this site, generate a password of 15-20 characters, and change the account password to it:

re:Good luck an let me know if you have other questions!
We Volunteers all answer questions here, hence we never instruct anyone to contact us personally again. We can suggest that they post again into the same thread if they need more help, but we never make a suggestion that sounds like we are Staff because we aren’t and doing so causes confusion.

You’re welcome. I decided to tell you that because I see a bevy of new Volunteers posting phrases at the end of their comments that only Staff use, and in the past bloggers have been annoyed to find out they were not communicating with Staff.
