  Hi
  Many years ago I created this test-site: https://havertilmaver.wordpress.com/ – and for some reason I do not have access anymore.
  I need to delete it! How do I do that?
  I is starting to show up on googles search results page when searching for ‘Haver til Maver’. And that is very problematic since Haver til Mavers official site is https://havertilmaver.dk/

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

  Hi,

  You will need to access your old site to delete it.

  If you don’t remember your login for that account, you can find about recovery options here:

  I dont have either of the requested “proof of ownership” information.
  And i am kind of desperat here: this old wordpress site seems to have taken over Google. In the sense that the real, official site for the organization “Haver til Maver” (www.havertilmaver.dk) no longer shows up in search results. Only the old test- wordpresssite. This is deeply problematic, since this is a small NGO completely dependend on its visibility.
  I am not sure in which mailadress it is registered with. I have tried the ones i still have acces to without any luck. Anyone who can help us out here?

  @landmanden, are you able to log in as user havertilmaver ?

  Do you no longer have access to the email address, or was the site set up by someone else?

  Noting if you no longer have email access, you could try to regain that, too.

  Hi there,

  Here’s a little trick you can try. Use the password reset form (https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword) and instead of entering an email address enter the username havertilmaver. Then check all the email addresses you and your coworkers have access to for the password reset message.
