Delete my blog
-
Hi,
When I search for my name at google.com my old blog is coming up. And I really want to delete this blog, but when I am logging in to my account at WordPress there is no blog. So I don´t quit understand. The link I want to delete is https://anneenger.wordpress.com/author/anneenger/
Can someone help me with this?

All blogs are independent websites. What you do on one has NO impact on others. To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. 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):

I know all of this stuff, and I have done everything but nothing works because I just got this massage: You don’t have any WordPress sites yet.
But when I google myself this website is coming up: https://anneenger.wordpress.com/
But when I log in to my account with the same username and the same e-mail, nothing is showing.
So I am now a little bit frustrated, and think WordPress should get better support, or maybe just be able to delete the whole page for you.
But do you have any other suggestions, there must be someone who has the information I need or that could help me with this? I don´t understand.

That means you are not logged in under the exact same username account that registered https://anneenger.wordpress.com/
If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account
