Deleting All Posts and Media
-
I looked on the support page for emptying my site and it said I could contact the wordpress team if I have a lot of content and wanted to delete it all. I want to delete every post and all the media from my blog and would like the team to please do this for me. Thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You have two options for emptying blog content and retaining the blog URL.
option 1
Provided you are logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog, you can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.
bulk delete images & media http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/#bulk-deletion
bulk delete posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit
bulk delete pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/#bulk-edit
Here’s how to permanently delete Trash >

Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
option 2
If you have lots of content and are willing to wait, Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar for Staff attention and post again to this thread to:
(1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible. -
Hi Cortney,
Because this is a permanent action, could you please state the site which you would like to be completely emptied of all posts, pages, comments, and media?
Once you do, I’ll get started on that.
Thank you very much!

My blog username is ‘rescueeffect’ and my main email is (email visible only to moderators and staff). Thank you so much!

I’m sorry Cortney, but what I need is the blog name. It’ll start with http:// and end with .wordpress.com. That’s the bit I need, please!

I’m having the opposite problem, when I posted a pic on my site with the caption as my Blog logo… it looked fine but when I posted another story the picture with all my other stories were gone, I don’t know why.. They didn’t even move down they were just gone… How do I stop my stories from disappearing? is it just that I only have one page of room to publish stories on??

Please start a new thread for your issue. And do a forum search: many people have asked this question.
