Deleting an unused blog but retaining the account?

    I am running my blog on wordpress.org but have a wordpress.com account to use for various features. I want to delete the ugly and unused wordpress.com blog so it doesn’t bring down my brand’s professionality but can’t work out how to do so without also deleting the account. Is there a way for me to do this?

    Thanks!

    Eva

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

    Hi there. Deleting the blog cannot be undone and cached copies of the page may still exist on search engines for several weeks. Consider setting the blog to private rather than deleting. If it then comes up in search results visitor will only see a page stating that the blog is private, but if you later decide you want to use that address again it will still be available.

    If you still want to delete it, you can do so from Tools ->Delete Blog in the dashboard. To delete your blog you must be logged in under the exact same username with which you created it. To prevent accidental deletion there will be multiple warnings that it cannot be reversed and you will have to click on a link in a confirmation email before your site will be deleted. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
