  I am trying to delete a work wordpress site that is no longer required. The previous IT Admin guy created this site and left me with a lot of usernames and passwords, but none of these logins allow me to log into WordPress to access MySite menu to delete the site. They only work to log onto the public view of the website as an Administrator. How do I delete the site?

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

  Hi there,

  You can opt for account recovery. If you know username or email address of the account to which the website is linked then follow this documentation for recovery:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

  Once you recover your account you can yourself delete your site.

  Note:
  Once you delete your site you can’t have the same domain name. Read the link below before doing so.

  If you wish to use the domain in future, I would suggest you to empty your site.

  Hope this helps!
