  Please turn off your CAPS LOCK or people will think you’re shouting at them.

  To delete your blog you must be logged in under the exact same username with which you created it. To prevent accidental deletion there will be multiple warnings that it cannot be reversed and you will have to click on a link in a confirmation email before your site will be deleted. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Deleting the blog cannot be undone and cached copies of the page may still exist on search engines for several weeks. Consider setting the blog to private rather than deleting. If it then comes up in search results visitor will only see a page stating that the blog is private. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  If you delete your blog, then you’ll lose your URL. You won’t be able to change your mind and get that same name back again.

  Instead, you can empty the contents:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  Then set it to private:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  In that case you can always go back if you change your mind.

  And please do not use ALL CAPS, it is not polite.
