  I want to delete a blog but the tec advise does not work. On ‘Tools’ there seems no such command as ‘delete blog’.

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

  Hi there. Is the blog you want to delete the one linked here: http://3hws.wordpress.com/ ?

  If you’re logged in as the admin that created the blog then you should be able to delete it from this link: https://3hws.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=delete-blog

  If it’s another blog, please make sure you’re logged in as the username account which created that blog and go to Tools in the WP-Admin dashboard.

  Please keep in mind that deleting a blog cannot be reversed and both the content AND the URL will be gone forever. Cached copies of the page can also still exist on search engines for several weeks. WordPress.com has no control over that. Consider setting the blog to private rather than deleting. If it then comes up in search results visitor will only see a page stating that the blog is private and it will still be there if you later want to use it again.
