  Thanks for the prompt reply, timethief.

  I’ve managed to cancel the domain so it doesn’t show anymore in the dashboard.

  However whenever I type kakakkilljoy.com it still re-directs to kakakkilljoydotcom.wordpress.com. kakakkilljoy.com is supposed to re-direct to another domain where the new site is hosted. I’m still sorting this out, but would appreciate pointers from you experienced people here.

  I have created a blog and want to remove this completely as I do not like the look of it. What I really need is a website and not a blog. Can you remove this blog and domain. What tips can you give me so I can create a cool website. Thanks. http://themarketingaid.wordpress.com/

  Please help!!!!

  I created a blog themarketingaid.wordpress.com and subsequently deleted it. I am now trying to go back and claim that domain address in order to re-create this blog using a different theme. How do I do this. WordPress is allowing me to sign in but not allowing me to create a new blog using this domain name. Your help is much appreciated.

  You cannot do this. As the warnings say at every step, deletion is permanent and irreversible.

  Hi Raincoaster, Thanks for your answer. Much appreciated. I am fine if this domain is permanently deleted. But I have an issue that Word press is telling me that “sorry, that site already exists” and also that I can still log in as themarketingaid. I would much appreciate that there are no traces and no account with this domain name. How can I remove all traces? Thanks again.
