Deleted blog but cannot recreate a new one using the same name
-
I just deleted my blog as I wanted to start over. I know there was an option to ask admins to help you do it but I thought it will be faster to do it manually so I deleted the blog and also confirm the deletion through my email. The blog is now shown as “The author has deleted the blog”. However, when I try to create a new blog under that name it says the site exists. Is it possible to create a new blog under the same name again after deleting the old blog which was under that name? Thank you.

No problem but I will post the answer below for those who use the tag search and locate this thread.
You cannot register any deleted blog URL. Deleting any .wordpress.com blog URL is not easily done and what you ask to do is not possible.
One has to ignore at least three warnings stating that deletion is permanent and irreversible and then click a verification link in an email to delete a blog. That’s because deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
