    Hi there,

    You don’t have to delete your account to have a fresh start. Here is a link to the support page that will walk you through the steps to empty all your current content.

    Empty Your Site to Start Fresh

    Also here is the link for closeing your account:

    Close Your Account

    Are these the steps you followed? Closing your account means that all of the sites under your account will be deleted, all of your data will be purged and your user name will be shutdown. After 30 days the action will not be able to be reversed. Make sure you are sure before closing. :)

    Good luck, and I hope that helps.
