  Hi there,

  I see that your website is marked as private at the moment, so it is not accessible to anyone else. If you would like to delete it entirely – you can do so by clicking on My Site(s), then Settings, scrolling to the bottom of the Settings page, and selecting “Delete your site permanently”.

  More detailed instruction can be found here:

  In case you would also like to delete your account – you can find answers in this topic:

  Let us know if you will face any issues while deleting your website :)

  I just made it public.

  I have tried to delete it but I am not able to.

  Would you please delete it for me ?

  Hi again,

  Actually there is no need to make your website public at the moment since that would not affect my ability to delete it (or ability of other volunteers here to do so).

  Staff would be able to access your website despite the fact it is “private”, so you can change the status back to “private” if you don’t want others to see it.

  Tell me please, do you have any upgrades that might prevent you from deleting your website? What happens when you try to delete your website?

  Delete a Website

  If you still won’t be able to delete it – add modlook tag under “Tags” in the sidebar on the right side and staff will help you.

  It says that I do have upgrades.
  It I know that I don’t.
  Which makes it impossible for me to delete de website.

  Hence, the help needed.

  @aroosale you have the Premium theme Promenade preventing you from deleting your site. Staff invervention is required. They can either transfer the “never expiring” premium theme to any other site you may have or remove it entirely. Please return to this thread confirming if you wish to keep the theme or relinquish it. As you haven’t added the modlook tag as suggested by @grigaswp I have now added it.

  Hi @themagicrobot,

  In addition to the theme upgrade preventing you from deleting the site, you are not the owner of the site – we’ll need verification from the owner to remove the theme from the account if you all want the site deleted. If you are the owner of the account, please log into the WordPress.com account associated with the site and post in this thread. We’ll be happy to remove the theme for you.

  Thanks,
