  Want to totally delete my site. It keeps appearing still in search engines. When I try and delete the contents, I get the message you have no site. Yet I can go to google and access the site
  https://skibbwalking.wordpress.com
  and see the information.

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

  This site https://skibbwalking.wordpress.com/ has NOT been deleted.

  We cannot do this for you.

  The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with your actual blog’s name in that URL.
  

  https://skibbwalking.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here 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 except for the one stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

  Note that this username account was registered month ago https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/skibbwalking and it matches the blog URL.

  Log out of the joreg60 account, clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies, and log in under the correct username account delete the site registered under it.

  Timethief, you closed the topic on 15 Feb. However, I still haven’t got a solution. The path you suggested does not work. Every time I try and go into dashboard I get an error message saying that I havn’t got the necessary privileges. However, I am the one who set this up – how can I not be the administrator?
  If I use the URL for skibbwalking group, the site opens up and my profile becomes visible – joreg60. But when I then go to my profile I am told I have no sites in my profile links.
  I have tried everything you suggested but I am not getting any further.
  Is there nothing you can do?
