Delete old site
-
I have an old word press site that I would like to totally delete. It is no longer used and was set up under an email that has been canceled. I can’t figure out how to delete it. I want to keep my two present sites and get rid of this old one.

Hi there,

and click the “Need More Help” link to complete the form for account recovery.After you recover the account you can delete the blog.
To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

Thank you for your detailed answer. The problem is, and this involves two people with two different blogs, the emails used at the time are no longer viable as they were hacked.
I’m still working on it and appreciate your help.

Which username account registered which blog?
Those are question you need to answer.There is only one means of account recovery.
