    Hi,

    I’ve been using a blog called Tea and Tatters, and I’ve just changed the site address and site title to my name instead. I want to get rid of the Tea and Tatters site from my dashboard, and just have the one site, daniellascott.wordpress.com, and I’ve looked into deleting it, but I’m concerned that in doing it myself I will delete the other site, or the content that is now on daniellascott.wordpress.com.

    Any help would be really appreciated!
    Regards,
    Daniella

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

    Hi there. Deleting the blog will wipe out both the content AND the address, cannot be undone and cached copies of the page may still exist on search engines for several weeks. Consider setting the blog to private rather than deleting. If it then comes up in search results visitor will only see a page stating that the blog is private.

    If you don’t want it to appear on My Sites you can set it to Hidden on the My Blogs page of the WP-Admin dashboard. https://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

    If you still want to delete it, you can do so from Tools ->Delete Blog in the dashboard. To delete your blog you must be logged in under the exact same username with which you created it and just make sure that you’re in the correct blog’s dashboard (only you can delete the blog so you’ll have to do it yourself). To prevent accidental deletion there will be multiple warnings that it cannot be reversed and you will have to click on a link in a confirmation email before your site will be deleted. Make sure you read and understand each of these messages. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
