  Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.

  You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:

  http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

  * You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with the actual blog’s name in that URL.

  After the blog’s owner logs in clicking this link should display all blogs registered under the same username account, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If the blog’s owner does not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then they need to follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If the log-in information is lost they need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  If you can access the site, know that all blogs are independent websites. What you do on one has NO impact on others. To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site go to https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/experimentalpagan.wordpress.com/ and click the “Delete Site” button.

  EDIT:
  Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the site go to https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/ and click the “Delete Site” button.
