  I have changed my user name. I have deleted old posts. I would like to delete the primary site or change it?

  Deleting a WordPress.com Blog via the Dashboard

  Deleting a WordPress.com blog can be done directly from the dashboard. Log in to begin.

  Step 1: Click “Settings” in the Dashboard
  Given the sample site, example.wordpress.com, the WordPress dashboard would be found here:

  https://wordpress.com/stats/day/example.wordpress.com

  Open the “Settings” menu to access the deletion option.

  You can easily delete a WordPress.com blog via the dashboard.

  Step 2: Click “Delete Site”
  Scroll down. You’ll find a button labelled “Delete Site,” as shown below. Click!

  Once you click on the “Delete Site” button, you will first be asked to enter your blog password. Confirm the deletion by entering your password, and your WordPress.com site is gone for good.

  Click “Delete Site” in the dashboard to remove all WordPress.com site content and references to your domain from the web.

  NOTE: This action cannot be undone. Clicking “Delete Site” will remove all content, including any domain references, from the WordPress.com site.

  @rashidkalwar786,

  I have removed the information regarding self-hosted sites from your reply, as they are not relevant to WordPress.com.

  Also please link to relevant support pages when you provide a reply, for example, https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ in this case.
