Delete website
-
I own http://www.basingstokerabbitboarding.Wordpress.com and want to delete it but it doesn’t seem to be linked to my account. How do I find it and delete it? I may have registered using another email address but may not have access to it any more?
Thank you -
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/ note the alternatives provided there.
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
Deleted .wordpress.com blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions are made are for URLs that were deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting sites and/or site content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

Thank you for your reply, I just sent a password reset request using username Basingstokerabbitboarding but I suspect the email address linked to that is no longer active.
Is there any other way of accessing the account? I am the Louise referred to on the website, so frustrating!

I am sorry but Support Staff cannot breach the privacy policy and provide the log-in information. You have to provide proof ownership to Account Recovery Staff to gain access https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/
If you check each and every possible email address and account and are not successful gaining access to the blog(s) then you must 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, and provide proof ownership, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums, which are available to everyone with internet access.

Hi, thank you for the link that is exactly what I was looking for…It’s hard to find out how to contact WordPress so this response was really helpful. Thank you very much.

You’re welcome and be aware that Account Recovery Staff frequently have a backlog so don’t expect an instant response from them. Be patient while waiting.
