  Hello!
  I own an old blog (afacereabeam.wordpress.com) and I can’t access it anymore because I don’t recall the e-mail address I used, nor the password. Is it possible that wordpress support to send me an e-mail on the e-mail address I used to register that blog? Because I would want to delete that blog.
  Thank you.

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

  You need to recover the account before you can delete the site.

  You must complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff, and provide proof ownership, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums, which are available to everyone with internet access.

  If you cannot provide proof ownership to Account Recovery Staff, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums, which are available to everyone with internet access, then you have reached a dead end.

  Well, I can’t recover the site using the usual method, by filling that recovery page you mentioned, because I can’t provide any of those proof of ownership points.

  The only way I can proof I’m the owner is:
  1. Asking WordPress support to send me an e-mail on the e-mail address that appears on the Contact page of that blog;
  2. Answering on that e-mail and confirming that I’m the owner and I really want to delete that blog.

  Please tell me what’s the e-mail address for contacting WordPress support directly?

  Thank you.
