Delete long neglected Blog for a business
-
I am coming into the advertising and marketing position for a company after the position has been vacant for 2 years. I need to delete the blogs that were created by the previous employee because they are still active and searchable which reflects poorly on us. I cannot contact the previous employee to gain access to the blogs nor did she leave any log in information. How can I get these blogs taken down?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Support Staff do not deal with account recovery; only Account Recovery Staff do that.
What I post only applies to sites hosted by wordpress.COM. It does not apply to wordpress.ORG software installs.
Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.
You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site and purchase or renew or cancel upgrades. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.
If you do not have the required access and someone else registered the site you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them transfer the sites and upgrades to your username account.

Support Staff cannot breach the privacy policy and provide the log-in information. You have to provide proof ownership to Account Recovery Staff to gain access https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/
