  Hi.

  I created a couple of blogs and now I have 4. I want to delete two because I don’t use them anymore. Can I do that without deleting the other two blogs I want to keep?

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

  Hi,
  In the dashboard of the blog you wish to delete, select Tools > Delete Site. Note that deleting a blog is permanent. You won’t be able to reuse it ever again: http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  If there’s a chance you might one day wish to use that blog, consider one of these options instead:

  1. Empty the site – you keep the domain for future use: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  2. Make the site private – you keep the content accessible in case you need it later, plus you keep the domain: https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  Hi.

  I saw those however, when I was at the last step, (verification: Are you sure you want to delete … ) it was listing the name of the blog I don’t want to delete so I didn’t continue. Are you sure it’ll delete the right blog? I’ve “invested” so much (time and energy) on my primary I can’t lose that one. :)

  Thanks!

  Good call not following through with that. Let’s play it safe and have a staff member take a look. I’ve tagged this thread for their review.
