  http://baynetlibs.wordpress.com/ – this site has old content. I wish to remove the contents entirely but keep the name so we can use it again in the future. Thank you.

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

  option 1
  You can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.
  bulk delete images & media http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/#bulk-deletion
  bulk delete posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit
  bulk delete pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/#bulk-edit
  Here’s how to permanently delete Trash >

  option 2
  If you have tonnes of content Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

  If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, then please
  (1) reply to confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty
  (2) reply to confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.

  I tagged this thread for a Staff follow-up.
