  Hi there!

  Thanks for reaching out. You can easily start fresh, without deleting the whole site because If you delete a whole site, it’s a permanent change.

  If you would like to remove all content and start fresh, this support article will help you through the steps and some information for your site.

  If you would like to Delete a Site you keep in mind that this is a permanent change if you didn’t want to completely delete it or change your mind later. The steps to do that can be found here as well.

  Feel free to reply if I misunderstood or if you still need any more assistance.

  Thanks!
  Alisson

  Hello there, hope you don’t mind me jumping in.

  Just to clarify, do not delete your site if you want to use the same site address. Empty the site content instead, as @alissonhernande mentioned and outlined in this support guide https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Deleting a website is permanent and removes both the content and the site address. This is irreversible.

  Hi there!

  We recommend you to not delete a site, as you won’t have access to your domain.

  As I mentioned, please follow these steps if you just want to shart fresh.

  Thanks!

  Recycling a .wordpress.com URL is possible only if 2 or more years have expired after deletion and only in some cases. Sites already deleted by their authors two or more years ago may become available again, if they present no username or other technical conflicts. From the relevant support doc at http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
