Deleted an old site address mistakingly

    Dear WordPress Staff,

    I hope this message finds you well. I am in a bit of a dilemma. A while ago, when I just opened a wordpress account, I used a site address that truly encapsulated that I wanted to achieve through my page. Because at the time I was not familiar with the site and how it functioned, I deleted the site wanting to simply recreate it. But, now, I cannot use the same url name. Whenever I try to change my url name from missiondeconstruct.wordpress.com to projectdeconstruct.wordpress.com (which is the one I want), I am told I cannot because the name has already been used. But, it is the name that I in fact used. I want to be able to use this name I first made, how can I do that?

    Best,
    Dea

    Hi there, I’m sorry to say but deleted site URL’s cannot be reused again. At least not for the next two years.

    I hope this helps in someway :(
