deleting an old URL without deleting all the new info for the new URL
-
I wanted to change my blog address and I did the steps properly. I decided not to permanently remove/delete the old address in the final step. I now am using my new address and its working well. I will no longer ever need the old address and I have changed my mind and would like to permanently delete it. No where on here does it talk about deleting an old blog at a later time. I logged back into my very first account and there is nothing in it. Everything has been transferred over to my new blog url and that is a good sign. I looked down in the tools where it says “delete site” and I am wondering if that is what I need to do? I am worried that if I delete site, it will delete EVERYTHING including the new blog URL. I have kept the same login name for both. Please help.
Summary:
1. I want to completely delete and remove my old first original, non used, blog URL site without deleting any of my data and files from my new blog URL site.2. I would like to get my image to replace the W up in the upper left hand corner for my NEW blog URL site just like it used to be for my old blog URL site.
Thanks for the help.
Also, up in the top left corner my image used to appear. It also appeared over in my bookmarks. Now that I have created the new blog url name it is just the default W on my site as well as in my bookmarks. My Gavater works fine over on the upper right hand side of the screen. How can I fix the upper left side of the screen? This image only seems to appear for my original first blog url.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

What is the URL of that site, the one you want to delete?

Go to Settings->General and upload a “blavatar.” It takes several hours to show up.

What is the URL of that site, the one you want to delete?
The old url is http://spitfirevintagetortoiseshell.wordpress.com/
Which I have set to private since there is nothing on it and it just gives an “Oops” message.
The new one is this http://spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.wordpress.com/
For my second question that you answered, it worked perfectly, thank you. My pictures showed up instantly.

As long as you have exported all the content from the blog, you can delete it by going to the dashboard of THAT PARTICULAR BLOG and on the Tools page you can delete it. This is permanent and irreversible. Neither you nor anyone else will ever be able to use that URL again.

Humm, okay. Thats such a drastic consequence lol. I guess its not hurting anything if I just keep it private and over in its corner just in case. I will do some thinking about that. Thank you for your reply and help.

I always recommend just keeping it private. You have NO IDEA how many people come back going “yes, i read deleting it was permanent but make an exception for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” You’re way better off just keeping it private.

Okay, heres another question for you that just came up. If I click on my name right here in this conversation, it takes me to the old url. Now that means if someone also clicks on my name they will be taken to a old obsolete url. How do I get my profile name to be associated with and only with the new url?
Second question. I was trying to make a drop down menu. It would allow me to make many added options, but for some reason it would only show the last 4 added. Is that because I am still on the free no upgrade version or is that just how it always is? I need about 5 to 6 options, but they keep getting erased as I add another.

Okay, never mind, I got the first part of my 2 questions solved. The second questions is still up in the air.

On my order page here http://spitfiretortoiseshellpickguards.wordpress.com/order/
Why when I click on the pictures are the picture seeming in increasingly become broken links? I uploaded them placed them correctly so that you can click on it and it will enlarge. It worked all night perfectly, but now I get home on my own computer and now they have the error 400 broken link page. They seem to work for a day and then out of nowhere become broken.
