  I have disabled auto renew and cancelled registration of domain (I think!), but it still won’t allow me to delete the site. Any help welcome!

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

  I’d be happy to cancel torontofreeevents.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.

  @pmciano thanks so much for the response. I just want to completely cancel the domain and delete the site. I bought it with the intention of starting something then the idea died, so I didn’t actually use it! Thanks.

  I’ve canceled your domain, as requested.

  If you want to permanently delete torontofreeevents.wordpress.com, follow the guide below:

  Please read the warnings and advice before deleting a site, as we can’t revert a site deletion for any reason.

  If you want to hide your site instead, you can use the following guide to make your site private so only you and other members of the site can view it when logged in:
