    I just meant to change the address of my site from fitwithnogym to desfitlife and I ended up deleting the entire site by accident instead! Is there anyway to restore it?

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi –

    Sorry. Once a site is deleted you aren’t able to use it again. You can read more here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

    “If you delete a blog you will not be able to get it back and no one else will be able to use that blog address. You must be sure you never want to use the blog again if you delete it”

    That is actually really dissappointing, and I imagine it must happen all the time. How about letting the original user reclaim at least the address? Does one have to wait for several years before it might get available again? That means there is at least a theoretic possibility of unblocking a given domain… Also I did not get any email in order to confirm the deletion. I do realize I was rash and stupid, but I did not expect the address to be blocked afterwards, only that all content would be lost. :/

    I tagged this thread ‘modlook’ to ask staff if there is anything they can do to help you. I can’t promise that anything can be done about your domain deletion.
