Deleting or unpublishing my wordpress site
-
I have tried everything possible to delete and unpublish my webpage toursbenies.wordpress.com. I am granting full permission to any admin to kindly delete this page. I already have the domain in use at another site and didn’t even realize this one was published almost 2 weeks earlier. It was a genuine error on my part that I am seeking a resolution to. Please delete my page. I erased the content I initially had on the page so its just the original template from WordPress. I’d like to have my domain name because it was launched on another site. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We cannot do this for you. You need to act.
All blogs are independent websites. What you do on one has NO impact on others. To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com
*Replace “NAME_OF_BLOG” with the actual name of the blog in the URL above.
If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies prior to logging into another account
If the log-in information is lost you need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

All wordpress.com hosted sites are on wordpress.com sub domains like http://toursbenies.wordpress.com/
In the event you are referring to a domain provide the following information please and tag the thread for Staff help.
1. What is the domain URL?
2. What is the underlying .wordpress.com URL?
3. Exactly which username account registered the underlying .wordpress.com blog and purchased the upgrade for it?
4. When was the upgrade purchased?
5. When did the refund request and upgrade cancellation take place?I will type modlook into the sidebar tags on this thread for a Staff follow-up.

Thank you for this. How do i remove it from appearing in google search engine after it has been deleted?

Deleting blogs and/or blog content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

I am a complete novice at this. Thank you for this valuable information. I was able to delete the webpage but the google serp is still there. It clicks to a page in wordpress that says my website is no longer available and removed by user. Is there any way to create a link on that page to redirect to my new site?

I’m sorry but you cannot remove that.
Or, can a new site be created with the same name from before?
No that’s not possible. As I said above:
