    Hi.

    I have created a this http://iaarchitecturestudio.wordpress.com/ a while ago from another wordpress account. I want to delete it.

    The problem is that I can’t access the account because can’t remember the password that I used or the email. (I have created one for this specific reason and haven’t done much for various reasons – as you can see).

    I would appreciate all the help.

    Thank you.

    Not to worry as you can use account recovery first and then delete the blog. Please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

    To delete a WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered it. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

    Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

    Thank you for the quick response.

    Unfortunately I do not have any of the information requested since I haven’t purchased any upgrades and I do not know the email I used for the account.

    Is there ANY other way to access the account?

    Can you try helping me using the telephone number provided?

    There is no phone support.
    There is only one means of account recovery.
    Please complete as many details as you can and submit the account recovery form to Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

    I do not have the information.

    Is there any other way without using an email? OR could you tell me the email that I used?

    I’m sorry but I don’t know which email address you used. There must be a limited number that you can recall and try.

    Take note of this username account https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/iaarchitecturestudio because it matches the URL you refer to.

    OK. Thank you.

    I will try that on wordpress.com with the passwords that I might have used.

    If there is anything else that I could try, please I would love to know.
