Deleting Non-Primary website w/o deleting primary
-
Under my account, I’ve got two websites. My semi-professional one is the primary one, and another one is personal. I don’t use the personal one, which is my non-primary one, but it was the website I had created when I signed up with my wordpress username. If I delete my non-primary website, will it also delete the primary one?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there. You can delete either blog without affecting the other. Just make sure you are in the correct blog’s dashboard when you delete it, and make sure you carefully read all the warning messages.
Keep in mind that 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 visitors will only see a page stating that the blog is private. http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

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/
