  If you have done that and have not received a confirmation email with a link to click in it then check your email client spam/junk mail folder as it may be in there.

  Someone else created the blog for me, he added me as an author. But as an author it does not allow me to do any editing of any kind.

  For example, in the dashboard, my blog shows up. I click edit under bulk actions and click apply, and nothing happens. My tools side bar has no menu and the settings menu only has sharing and polls options.

  Staff will not delete this blog. You will need to contact the person who registered the blog and is the Admin of it. Have him delete the blog, or change your role to Admin and then transfer the blog to you, so you can delete it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account

  I would actually prefer to delete the contents so I can keep the adress for the future, but the problem is as an other my dashboard does not allow me to do any editing.

  I hope you clearly understand me. Blogs are owned by those with the username accounts that register them. Your inability to perform all functions and even delete the blog is not going to change unless or until your do what I stated above – contact the blog’s owner/Admin.
