Delete specific site

    I was trying to create another blog for work and I accidentally created another site on my personal WordPress account because I did not realize that I was still logged in. I want to just delete that site off my personal account without deleting my personal site. How can I do this without deleting the blog that I use?

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

    All blogs are independent websites and what you do on one has no affect on any other blogs.

    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.

    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

    Each username account has a single email address associated with it, a single gravatar and only one primary blog can be linked to the username.

    To disassociate blogs currently registered under the same username accounts see here for step by step instructions http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2012/08/14/separate-username-accounts-separate-blogs/

    You log out, clear your browser cache and cookies, and then register another username account under a different email address. Then you transfer one of the blog to it.
