  I have two sites connected to my email, one I created years before and the other I created only recently. If I select ‘Delete Site’ will both of my sites be deleted? I wish to keep my recent one and only get rid of the other.

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

  Hey ellxh,

  Open the website you wish to delete from the My Sites section by selecting it.

  Go to Settings–> Delete your site permanently–>Delete site.

  Note: One deleted you cannot revert the changes.

  Please go through this link for more information.

  If your site has upgrades you wish to manage before deletion, visit this link.

  Hi there,

  If you follow the information in this link, you are absolutely able to delet the one site: https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/. Keep in mind that once you delete it you cannot get it back. Also, if it has any upgrades, those must be removed first.

  Hope this helps :)

  Hi there, Please read this support guide to deleting your site https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  When you are in Settings>General>Delete Your Site Permanently at https://wordpress.com/settings/ that will be the site you delete so make certain it is the correct site before proceeding, as once deleted it cannot be recovered.

  Another option is to make your old site Private to keep it out of search engines and away from public view. However you will still have access to it when you are logged in.

  Let us know if you need any further info on that.

  OK-then, LOL. That’s what happens when I step away to make a cup of coffee in the middle and forget to refresh first.

  Thanks everyone for your assistance here.

  @justjennifer

  I get caught by forgetting to refresh all too often as well :)

  @amandasjackson – Frankly, my fingers are so used to Ctrl+A, Ctrl+X, F5, Ctrl+V that I don’t even think about it. But at this point in my day, I blame it on the lack of caffeine! That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. :)
