    Are you trying to delete a specific site?

    You should be able to do that through WordPress admin –> Tools –> Delete Site

    Here is a screenshot of the option: http://cl.ly/image/2M3L390U1r3M

    Also, take a look at this link: http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

    You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog.

    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.

    To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

    If you are referring to deleting self hosted WordPress.org installs from your account then, provided you post the URLs of self hosted blogs you want deleted from your account into a forum thread like this one, Staff can do this for you.

    Hi,
    Sorry I am not tech savy on this kind of stuff. I have read and try to follow bit this is not straigh forward! This is what I get:

    _______________________________________________________________________
    Delete Site
    What is your goal?

    Did you know that deleting a site removes both the site name and the content forever? Chances are pretty good that there’s a better solution.

    Please review the options below and make sure you’ve selected the one that best fits your need.

    Empty my site of all content

    If you wish to empty your site of all of its content but keep the site name, please contact support, and one of our Happiness Engineers will be glad to lend a hand. Do note that once the site is emptied, the content is gone forever, so please make sure you mean it before you ask us to empty your site.

    So I contact the site and what’s next. I just want this Gemmy’s guide blog gone so I can start another one: http://remocasadei.wordpress.com/

    Please help? Surely this should be simple?

    What is the actual URL of the site you want to delete?

    You don’t have to delete one blog in order to start a new one. I have 19 here at WordPress.com.

    Please see the link above.

    I know I dont have to delete a blog to start another, I just want to delete that blog. How necessarily difficult does this have to be???

    The link told me ask to the support which will help me, please help me.
    I am not interesting in having that blog. If this cant be done, I will go back and delete my account.

    I have the same problem as remo1 I want to delete one blog, not my whole site which currently has 2 other blogs which I don’t want to lose not do I want my username/email address to be permanently deleted from WordPress.

  • Unknown's avatar

    Thanks

    I do not know what this means. Do you mean you want to delete blog POSTS? You can do that on the Edit Post page.

    If you want to delete an entire blog forever, only an administrator can do that, and they do that on the dashboard Tools page.

    The option I am after is: Empty my site of all content.
    When I select that it says Contact support.
    Then I select I didnt find my answer cos I didnt.
    Then I type in my questions.. and it goes round and round again…
    I give up… deleting my account. I cannot believe in this day and age something as simple as deleting an old blog can be so difficult… its not only me, google the same questions and see how many hits you get.
    Thanks anyway.

    If you want to empty the site to start over this should help

    Empty Your Site to Start Fresh

    If you have a lot of content the staff can help – but you would need to confirm in very clear words that you want site adcfrt.wordpress.com (the actual name) cleared of all content and that yes you understand that the content will be gone forever and you accept that

  • Unknown's avatar

    That’s not the way to delete a blog. If you just want to remove the contents, you can do that yourself using the bulk editor on the Posts page.
