Delete Site

I selected the option to delete my site. I can’t access the WP backend but he frontend is still viewable. How do I take down the frontend page as well ?

Hi there,
I don’t see a URL posted above so I don’t know for sure if you are referring to a blog hosted by WordPress.COM. What follows applies only if you are referring to a WordPress.COM hosted blog.
All blogs are independent websites so what you do one one has no effects on any others. To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered 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. Once clicked the URL is gone forever. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

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 see https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
