Delete content; Keep site URL
-
Hi, I want a fresh start on my site. Dashboard says I should contact support, but WordPress doesn’t do email support. How can I delete all my content in one go, but keep my site and URL active. Thanks!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You’ll have to do this for posts, pages and media items separately, but in the dashboard of your blog, click on posts, then there are check boxes for each post. At either end, there will be a select all box, followed by a drop-down saying “Bulk Actions.” Sellect delete from that list.

If you want to retain the blog URL (note that no deleted URL can be registered again). https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/ and you are willing to wait rather than doing this yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/ then Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.
If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention and post again into this thread to:
(1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
