  I wish to delete my web site and have it removed from the appropriate search engine listings eg Google. How do I go about it?

  Hi there,

  If you want to permanently delete your site, please follow this guide:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  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:

  Trying to view the file on your site should result in a 404 File Not Found error. If you are still able to see the image, you may need to clear your browser’s cache and cookies.

  It’s up to Google to decide when and how to include/remove this page from search results, WordPress.com doesn’t have any control over that. For more information you can read our FAQ about search engines here:
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/search-engines/

  You can try requesting removal from Google by following the instructions here:
  http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=92865

  Google also provides information and tools for webmasters, you might find further information on their tools here:

  Let me know if you have any questions.

  Thanks,
