  It says to delet site content in order to start over I have to contact the support team and they will do it but there is not an option to email them anywhere. How to you contact them to only have them delete the content without losing the site?

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

  Hi there,
  You posted to the peer support forum. :) These are our support options http://en.support.wordpress.com/help-support-options/ In addition we can email
  help@wordpress.com
  but it takes longer if we do that and we can help you here.

  If you are willing to wait rather than doing this yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/ Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

  If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention and post again to this thread to:

  (1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
  (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it from the SERPs (search engine page results). 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: https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
