  Hi, I set up a wordpress site a while ago but deleted it to try another platform as couldn’t work wp, so I deleted it (still have the email) but now I want to try it again with the same site name, but its saying it already exists – is that from my previously deleted one? If so, how can I use it again? (I have googled the title, and it hasn’t come up with anyone elses site, only mine from weebly)
  Thanks
  Gemma (girlsewgeeky)

  https://girlsewgeeky.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.

  What is the exact URL of the site you refer to?

  Site deletion is a permanent and irreversible act and there are multiple warnings to that effect that one has to ignore to delete any wordpress.COM blog. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  I am sorry but you cannot register a deleted blog URL. No one can use a deleted blog URL regardless of who registered it. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  However, you can register another blog with a similar name. http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
