  Hi there,

  I can remove the theme for you, but you own the theme indefinitely – so I would recommend you to set your site to private in case you ever want to use the theme again for another site.

  Otherwise, I’d be happy to remove the theme for you so you can proceed with the deletion of the site.

  Let me know, thanks!

  Hello
  I have set to private as i have a new website.
  My wordpress comes up first in google so i think i need it deleted.
  Is it possible to archive it as well? In the instructions i read that choice comes up?
  Thank you

  Hi there,

  It might a few weeks for the site to be removed from search engines now that it is set to private.

  It’s up to Google to decide when and how to include/remove this page from search results, WordPress.com doesn’t have any control over that. For more information you can read our FAQ about search engines here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  You can try requesting removal from Google by following the instructions here:
  http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=92865

  Google also provides information and tools for webmasters, you might find further information on their tools here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks!
