  I deleted the blog “heidelberghouse.wordpress.com” about a year ago. However, the pages of this site are still visible on the internet. This blog is no longer listed on my “My Blogs” page so I can’t seem to find where I could delete the pages.

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

  How odd. I’ll tag this for staff attention. It looks to me like you’ve deleted the site’s pages and posts but not the site itself.

  Exactly which username account registered this blog please?
  http://heidelberghouse.wordpress.com/

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and delete it.

  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
  and if required click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery. https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  After you recover the account you will be able to delete the blog you created if that is your intention.

  You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog to delete it. Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address so you must be sure you never want to use the blog again if you delete it. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. 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.

  To change blog visibility to Private go to Dashboard > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  The reason I posted all that above is because the matching username account for that blog exists.

  Thanks TT, didn’t look to see if that was an actual account before posting my response. I’ll remove the modlook tag for now, one of us can re-add it when the OP replies.

  Hi there,
  Not to worry as we both have this covered now. :)
