    Please help me delete old posts from my blog at netzark.wordpress.com from 6 years. I would like to get them clear up and start a fresh one using the same address (netzark.wordpress.com). Thanks!

    Hi –

    Here are the instructions on emptying your blog content:
    https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

    This will walk you through removing the content of your blog, so that you can start over on it. You will maintain ownership of the domain this way.

    Please let me know if you need any further help =)

    You must have created 2 user accounts. Here is the account recovery information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/
    You won’t be able to access netzark.wordpress.com until you get logged in correctly.

    Hi –

    WordPress.com is unable to give out private account information such as email addresses for security and privacy of its users. You will have to go through Account Recovery: https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

    I am so very frustrated with this…….

    Sorry. You have to have one of the items listed on the account recovery page to prove ownership of the blog. This is a security check put in place to protect the users at WordPress.com. Otherwise, anyone could say they own something, and gain access to it, which obviously could cause problems.

    You can try to submit the old username, jiamzhang, into the lost password form, and see if you still have access to email address associated with jiamzhang.

    Hi g2-ee20f7ad6421ced1852b0815185b5a97 .

    staff-zinnia has some excellent advice there. If you still aren’t able to gain access, I’d recommend picking another username, which you can do here:
    https://wordpress.com/me/account

    then creating a new site with that. I hope that helps!

    I even tried lost password form using my username jiamzhang but I didn’t see which email being displayed. I was like can’t be.. oh well.. I don’t want to pick another username with a new site. I rather be use the same address to continue because I own netzark.com.

    Once you can prove you own netzark.wordpress.com using the authentication methods we mentioned, we’d be happy to help you get access to it. Alternatively, you could map blog.netzark.com .

    I’ve contacted you privately so you can send those details, and will close this thread for now. Cheers. :)
