  I had an old domain registered under my email address that I never use. I now want to delete this and create an entirely new domain, which I will then upgrade to a premium plan with.

  Does anybody know how to simply delete the old domain, so I can go ahead and just use my new one? I am finding this really confusing! :(

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  This is a wordpress.com blog on a sub domain http://melaniereidmusic.wordpress.com/ but your are referring to a domain.

  We need details please.
  1. What is the domain URL?
  2. What is the underlying .wordpress.com URL?
  3. Exactly which username account registered the underlying .wordpress.com blog and purchased the upgrade for it?
  4. When was the upgrade purchased?
  5. When did the refund request and upgrade cancellation take place?

  Hi there @melaniereid1993, what domain are you trying to get rid of? I don’t see any custom domains on this account actually.

  If you wanted to get rid of an old site, you can do that via https://wordpress.com/settings — though you’re welcome to have more than one site / mark one private, etc.
