  … and noteworthytreasures.com

  Hi. Trying to delete these blogs … getting the message about having a registered domain name, but can’t figure out how to de-list the names so I can delete the blogs from my account.

  Can you help? Don’t need any residual content.

  Thanks! Tom

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

  Hi there. You have to cancel the custom domain first before you can delete the underlying WordPress.com blog. I’ve tagged this for staff to help you with that. Please be patient while waiting for their reply.

  P.S. You say you’re trying to delete blogs, plural, but only list one URL. If you have more than one custom domain you need cancelled, please provide the others as well.

  @kesslertg

  I’d be happy to cancel noteworthytreasures.com for you.

  Before I proceed, there are a few points I need to cover.

  If we cancel your domain, it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and we can’t guarantee that your domain will be available to you again, once canceled.

  If you want to keep using your domain, but you don’t want to use WordPress.com anymore, you don’t have to cancel it. Instead, you can move the domain to another site, using the Domain Administration tool under Store > Domains, at the bottom of the page.

  For more information on using the domain elsewhere, please see:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/domain-management/

  Once you confirm how you’d like to proceed, I will get started processing your transaction, and will forward instructions on how you can delete noteworthytreasures.wordpress.com.

  I would really appreciate your help. I will never need these domain names again. I’ve got two that need to go …

  noteworthytreasures.com

  noteworthyarttreasures.com

  I really appreciate your help. I keep tripping over these two and really want them gone.

  Thanks!
  Tom
