Deleted sites still showing when Googled.

    I have already tried to delete this site and another site (https://cazinreallife.wordpress.com/ ) a while ago only to find that they are still visible when searched online now. I don’t have any of the original emails (the sites were linked to (email visible only to moderators and staff)) because I cleared my inbox ages ago thinking that the sites were deleted.

    I can’t access them when I try to log into WordPress with this email address because it says user does not exist.

    There are the two sites connected to the email address ‘(email visible only to moderators and staff)’, the one I have linked and this one: https://cazinreallife.wordpress.com/

    I would like both accounts to be deleted. As I said, I cannot log into my old WordPress account with this email address because the account seems to have been successfully deleted, but both sites linked to it are still visible when searched on Google. Please can you help me delete the sites so they are no longer visible when searched. Thank you.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Unknown

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

    A WordPress.com user account cannot be deleted without also deleting all websites under that account first, so there’s no way the account could have been deleted and the websites still active.

    Neither carynlleighoram.wordpress.com nor cazinreallife.wordpress.com are tied to a WordPress.com account using the email address (email visible only to moderators and staff). I also don’t show that we ever had an account using that email address in our system.

    Each site has its own WordPress.com user account using two different email addresses that are both still active. Therefore, in order to delete these sites, you would need to prove ownership of each account before we can take any action.

    If you have other email addresses, I would try logging into WordPress.com using those first. If you don’t know what password you would have used, you can reset it using this form where we’ll send you an email link to update your password:

    https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

    Otherwise, you need to go through our account recovery process. You can read more about this process here and get started:

    I hope that helps!

    Hi there,

    Thank you for your response. The site cazinreallife.wordpress.com must be linked to my email address (email visible only to moderators and staff). But I have no idea how to prove it because all of my emails relating to that site were deleted. I’ve had this site for years. When I’m on my dashboard for my account with carynleighoram.com there is nothing at all on there for cazzinreallife.wordpress.com at all. How can I recover it when I don’t have any of the verification stuff you need to go in? And it’s so weird because the site seems to be deleted from my WordPress account, given that it doesn’t exist on my dashboard. It’s just still there when I google it. I have no idea what to do!

    According to whois info your site carynleighoram.com was running on the wordpress.com platform but was removed on June 17th 2022.
    Your site https://cazinreallife.wordpress.com/ is connected to another account of yours, https://wordpress.com/forums/users/carynleighoram/. So log out from current carynoram and log in again using the username carynleighoram.

    Hi there,

    I’m still having a problem with this. I have logged out of carynoram (I know the password for it and the email address is (email visible only to moderators and staff)). But the username/account carynleighoram, I don’t know the password for it. But when I go to email me a login link I get nothing in my emails. I have checked my spam folder and everything. I can’t access the account, I don’t have the original email. How can I recover this account with you guys? I just want cazinreallife.wordpress.com and carynleighoram.wordpress.com deleted so that I can have one site when googled.

    The user account carynleighoram is associated with a different Gmail address than the ones you’ve provided, so you should review what other Gmail addresses you have and check them for those password reset emails.

    Otherwise, your only option is to email passwordhelp (at) wordpress (dot) com explaining the situation, and WordPress.com support will see if there’s anything they can do for you. Note that this does not guarantee they will take any action if they can’t verify your account ownership.

    I hope that clarifies things!

    I’m really confused because the only other gmail address I have is (email visible only to moderators and staff). That’s my oldest address and I’m certain it’s the one I started my carynleighoram account with because I’ve had that site for 7 years and that is my first gmail address I ever made. But I think you mentioned in a previous message that there is no account connected to (email visible only to moderators and staff). :(

    I’ll try the email!
