  I created a blog site to documents all my travel information but I had trouble working with it. I decided to just put my travel stories in the same place I have other stories. So how do I delete the other blog site? It is called clickclicktravel

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

  https://clickclicktravel.wordpress.com doesn’t exist

  What is the exact URL starting with http:// of the wordpress.COM hosted site you refer to please?

  And, exactly which wordpress.COM username account registered that site?

  This is wordpress.COM support. I’m asking because we cannot accurately answer questions posted here until we have confirmed the URL referred to and verified the hosting.
  We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
  (1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
  (2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
  (3) Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.

  To the support team – I gave you incorrect information. I hope the following information is what you need.

  The site I want removed is called (email visible only to moderators and staff) It is under http://colette54.wordpress.com i have a few sites under that URL. My user name is colette54

  BTW – I have no idea what a Jetpack is other than the type James Bond straps on to escape the enemy.

  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/

  https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com

  *Replace “NAME_OF_BLOG” with the actual name of the blog in the URL above.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account

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