  I would like to start over with my blog by using the same address, yet have all previously made content removed

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

  You have two options for emptying blog content and retaining the blog URL.

  option 1
  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog, you can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.
  bulk delete images & media http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/#bulk-deletion
  bulk delete posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit
  bulk delete pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/#bulk-edit
  Here’s how to permanently delete Trash >

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#deleting-permanently

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it 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. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en

  option 2
  If you have lots of content and are willing to wait, Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

  If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar for Staff attention and post again to this thread to:

  (1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
  (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

  Hello,

  I have a similar issue with blogs I no longer use (contents have been moved elsewhere and domain names have expired.). I was trying to delete them myself but cannot retrieve the associated admins/emails/passwords.

  1. Here are the concerned URLs I want to delete:
  – http://theblediansblog.net
  – http://melting-world.net
  – http://melting-world.net/wordpress

  2. I confirm that I know blog deletion is irreversible
