  re: clearing site content
  You must be logged in under the username account that registered the site first. Then to empty the site and keep the URL you have two options:
  (1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  (2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.

  If you have a lot of content Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
  https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/6332384?hl=en&ref_topic=1724262&vid=0-635749429504660340-12158368555624983465&rd=1

  If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, post here again to:
  (1) confirm the URL of the blog(s) you want them to empty;
  (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

  Then type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up.
