  I deleted an old blog several months ago, but want to start anew for a different purpose. However I cannot use the same address but I need to in a way for what I want to use it for, is there a way I can get my original address back?

  Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com).

  Fortunately, there is an infinite supply of unused blog addresses, so our policy should not limit your address selection. Note that if you add a custom domain for use with your blog, the original ‘wordpress.com’ domain/URL is never visible to your readers for as long as the custom domain is used on your blog.
