  Hi there,

  re: deleting sites

  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/

  https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com

  *Replace “NAME_OF_BLOG” with the actual name of the blog in the URL above.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then 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 prior to logging into another account

  If the log-in information is lost you need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If you do not have the required access and someone else registered the site you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them act.

  Important note: Be aware that 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/

  Other options
  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

  To empty site content and keep the URL see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  You can simply switch themes. https://en.support.wordpress.com/themes/#switch-themes

  To transfer the site to another username account provided that username account has first been added as an official user of the blog https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#adding-users-to-your-site with Admin status. https://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator
