  Hello! I delete my blog (adress punze.wordpress.com) because I wanted to start again. The problem is that I can’t register my new blog with the same(!) adress because the site is already online, but that’s not true (because I delete it). can you help me?

  Hello,
  Unfortunately, that blog can’t be reused, even though you were the one who originally created and deleted it. It’s the policy of WordPress.com not to allow blog names to be reused: https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can create a new blog with a variation on the original name.

  In the future, I suggest emptying your blog if you want a fresh start. That way you can still keep using the same blog name: https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
