  Hello, I need some help deleting a blog with this message :
  Warning! You cannot delete a site if it has a domain registration upgrade because you need access to the site in order to get to the domain manager. Blog address is essenceetc.com
  Thank you

  You need Staff help to remove the domain mapping first. I tagged this thread for Staff assistance. Please subscribe to it so you are notified when they respond. To subscribe look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  You have two domains connected to that site:

  • essenceetc.com
  • goyourway.me

  We can cancel these domains for you if you wish, then you’ll be able to delete the site.

  However, if we cancel the domains they enter into a lengthy process very similar to domain expiration. If you plan to use the domains at all in the future, even somewhere other than WordPress.com, I recommend you do not cancel the domains. We can move the domains onto an empty, private site for you to control the domains, then you can delete the current WordPress.com site.

  Or, you can just set your current site to private where new readers can not reach them and they’ll no longer be indexed by search engines.

  Let me know your preference on how to handle those two domains.

  Hey there!
  Thanks for getting back to me so quickly and for your sound advice. I no longer need the domains so deleting is preferred.
  Kindly,
  Paula :)

  Hi Paula,

  I cancelled your domains, essenceetc.com and goyourway.me at your request.

  Your site is still accessible at https://essenceetc.wordpress.com/ .

  If you want to permanently delete your site, follow the guide below:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/

  Please read the warnings and advice before deleting a site. We can’t revert a site deletion for any reason and the site address cannot be reused.

  If you want to hide your site instead, you can use the following guide to make your site private so that only you and people that you have invited can view the site:
