  Hi @cahmadh,

  There is no way to get a deleted URL back. But the good news is you can use any other custom URL similar to what you had. You might consider having a new blog address. Also note, on a long run if you plan to use a Custom domain, the free domain URL will not be visible. You can read more about “Recycling Blog names” in this support document:

  Hope this helps, please let me know for any further questions.
  Thanks!

  Hi @cahmadh,

  Just to add on to @pavanraheja…

  If you do decide that you want to remove your new blog in the future. You may want to change your privacy settings on your site instead.

  If you change it to ‘Private’ then no one can see it without being specifically invited by you or change it to ‘Hidden’ and no one can see it.

  This way, if you decide in the future that you want to return to the blog, you can just change the setting to Public and then you’ll have no issue with no longer being able to access your new chosen WordPress name.

  You can review privacy settings here – https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
