    Hello there,

    We cannot do this for you.

    To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog 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/

    Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

    Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

    Accounts cannot be deleted so we cannot be impersonated by anyone registering and using the same username in the future. Also note that Automattic Inc. owns wordpress.COM and also many other products and services listed here https://automattic.com/ that do require a wordpress.COM account. Therefore, account deactivation is provided and account deletion is not provided.

    Registering an account here required
    (1) your consent to the Terms of Service http://wordpress.com/tos/ and all policies made under it found in the support docs like this one http://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/,
    and
    (2) an email address.

    Any personal information you posted anywhere was posted voluntarily. Both the email address and personal information can be removed or replaced at any time.

    Here’s how to deactivate your account:
    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:
    http://www.thebitmill.com/tools/password.html

    4. To hide your Gravatar profile, login and on the bottom right hand corner of your Gravatar profile page you will find a “hide” button visible only to you that you can click. http://en.gravatar.com/support/profile-privacy/

    Then log out of this account, clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and log in under the exact same username account that registered that blog.

    Everything I did, I tried it on another computer where I had such a request before and again it appears that page. Do not take time to Google to delete this information from its servers>

    That site has not been deleted. Are you sure that you confirmed the deletion according to the instructions on the deletion confirmation email?

    I am not sure I understand. Are you saying that you no longer have access to the email address that is associated with the WordPress.com account that owns the site you are trying to delete?

    I’m going to watch https://sretenpopovic.wordpress.com/ there’s no content, photos or articles. And if I shut down gmail. I still stand my site. I do not understand how this site can see on the web and there are no media yet even my photo appear there if it does not, and never was there. And I would not like to have her there.
    I therefore ask you for advice on how to delete all. Can you send my order if I can help it.
    With respect

    The account you are posting from is not the owner of https://sretenpopovic.wordpress.com/. You must have ended up with a second WordPress.com account at come point.

    In order to delete an account, you must have access to the email address associated with the site’s owner. You cannot delete a site without receiving the confirmation email.

    On the site mentioned enter with a valid code, and the settings tells me that there is nothing. Can you send a print-screen only. Frankly I would like to solve this problem and you do not bother.
