  @amirudra789 in this case they need to downgrade first.

  @foxandchicken we just need to get that site downgraded properly so you can delete it.

  Downgrading will remove any third party themes or plugins you’ve added. You may also lose other changes and content you’ve made since adding them. Can you confirm this is fine with you? If you need anything from the site, please export the site and media first:
  https://wordpress.com/support/export/

  Please confirm with us here when you’re ready. ALSO, since you have a unique username / URL reservation, note if you’d like to reuse those at some point, I’d recommend just making the site private and stopping emails to the account instead. After 30 days, closing deactivates that address & username permanently.
