  I deleted my first address (guseonghada.wordpress.com) and it isn’t registered yet now, may I request it back?

  Hi,

  Unfortunately it is not possible. That’s why several warnings are given in order to accomplish deletion.
  https://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 even better, you can register a new domain, so you can hide the .wordpress.com part: https://en.support.wordpress.com/register-domain/

  Happy blogging!

  Can I register a new blog with the same name as my first deleted blog? Thank you

  It is not possible.

  Fortunately, there is an infinite supply of unused blog addresses, so it 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.
