  Ok, I went in to the account settings and changed my email address to my gmail – however, it tells me it is already in use – yes, I have several wordpress.org accounts –

  any emails sent to the original email (which is not active) will not go thru and I cannot confirm anything that I am doing

  I just want all of my blogs in wordpress.com deleted

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

  I want all of my old blogs deleted – please change my original email address to (email visible only to moderators and staff) – so I can do what the instructions tell me to do to delete the blogs

  Also, I can update my profile and update to my current wordpress.org sites in my profile

  All blogs are independent sites so what you do on or with one has no effects on any others.

  To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog.

  To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

  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 so you can use the unwanted blog later go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  IMPORTANT NOTES: There is only one means of account recovery. Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If required please complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

  You can update your email address in your WordPress.COM Account Settings, or in your Personal Settings under Users → Personal Settings in your dashboard.
