  Hi I am attempting to delete one of my blogs but have recently deleted my email account, therefore I cannot access the link where it says I will confirm the deletion. I have attempted to change my email in my settings but I think an email has also been sent to my recently deleted email to confirm

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

  Update your account email address, then try deleting the site again.
  See the Update Email Address support page.

  I guess you’ve already tried what I suggested. However, changing the email address does not require access to the old email address. The Update Email Address support page says,

  Once you’ve entered a new email address and clicked “Save Account Settings,” you’ll receive an email at the new address with a confirmation link. You must click the confirmation link to confirm the change and update the email on your account.

  @ erajandsonia,

  You can’t start afresh on a site by deleting it and reusing the address on a new site. See the Recycling Blog Addresses support page for an explanation as to why this is the policy of WordPress.com.
