  I accidentally deleted a website and now I cannot retrieve the URL. So that I’m clear, I broke it down:

  1) My original and primary blog was: http://www.miketranchina.wordpress.com

  2) I wanted to switch my primary blog with a new URL: http://www.declareyourbeing.wordpress.com

  3) In an effort to change my primary blog URL, I accidently registered an entirely new blog with the the domain URL http://www.declareyourbeing.wordpress.com

  4) I could not transfer my primary blog url (1) to the desired url (2) because it indicated that it was already in use.

  5) I accidently/ mistakenly deleted my desired URL (2) and now I cannot transfer, nor retrieve the desire URL (2) back

  Please help. I had a blog http://www.declareyourbeing.com in which I used wordpress, but I decided to switch to the free account while I saved money to renew site hosting.

  Is there any way for me to be able to retrieve http://www.declareyourbeing.com? I would be so grateful and appreciative! Thank you!!!
  Blog url: http://miketranchina.wordpress.com/

  I’m sorry, but deleted blogs cannot be restored or reused. Deleting a blog is permanent and the name cannot be used again. There are several warnings about this on the Tools -> Delete Site page and in the help pages, and you are required to confirm the deletion by email.

  Delete Blog

  You can start a new blog by logging in to WordPress.com and then going to http://en.wordpress.com/signup/

  However, if you already own declareyourbeing.com you can map it to any WordPress.com blog following this guide: http://en.support.wordpress.com/domain-mapping/map-existing-domain/
