  Hi there,

  After 30 days we purge the site entirely if it is deleted and we can’t revert a site deletion for any reason. So, I would recommend this if you want to use the URL in the future.

  If you want to hide your site instead, you can use the following guide to make your site private so only you and other members of the site can view it when logged in:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
  
  Please let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks,

  Hi, thanks for your response. Am aware that after deletion WordPress doesn’t revert it nor does it make the URL available for others or even myself to use. Hence, I was requesting to free up the address torqueearnest6 (and shashwatidas.wordpress.com too) from the backend if it were possible.

  Hi there!

  That’s not possible. May I know why you’d like them to be freed up? Do you want to use them with a different WordPress.com account? If yes, you can follow the instructions below to transfer the site ownership to another WordPress.com account.
