    Hi there,

    To delete your WordPress.com site please make sure you are logged into the account that has admin privileges to the site.

    Go to My Sites -> Settings, then scroll down to Site Tools and select “Delete your site permanently”.

    Please note that if you delete a site you will not be able to get it back and no one else will be able to use that site address.

    Once you delete your site you can’t have the same domain name. Read the link below –

    Also note, deleting the site deactivates the address for at least 2 years. Better to make the site private if you change your mind later.

    If you want to keep some of the content (in case you want to copy it over from the old version to the new one) I recommend renaming your site instead, using these steps given in :

    If you rename the site to something like yoursiteold.wordpress.com, and choose to keep the address, the old address will be left blank and you can start from scratch.

    P.S. As you may have lately deleted your site, there is a possibility staff can retrieve it for you.

    I hope this helps!
