  If I delete my site, is it possible to create a new one while keeping my domain name? Because I have a lot of problems and I would like to reset all the “wp-files”.

  PS: I am currently working on a test site for my company (googleshop.fr)

  Thanks for your help

  Hi there,

  If you delete you WordPress.com site, http://abda555219669.wordpress.com/, the abda555219669.wordpress.com address will be permanently disabled, and you won’t be able to use it again.

  However, the site at https://googleshop.fr/ isn’t a WordPress.com site, but using the open source WordPress software at another host. You should be able to delete that site and set up a new WordPress installation without it affecting your hosting account and domain themselves. But please contact your hosting provider directly for help with that process.

  There are also plugins you can use to reset your site back to a default WordPress installation without actually deleting it. For advice in that regard you can ask the WordPress.org community, who makes that software, in their forums at https://wordpress.org/support/forums/
