    Accounts cannot be deleted. Blogs can be deleted but once deleted the URLs are gone forever and cannot be recycled and reused by anyone.

    First of all NEVER delete anything at WP.com if you think there’s a chance you might want it back. The Name, the Contents, and the URL are gone, poof, forever, for you and everyone else on Earth.

    So we normally suggest just setting the blog to Private in case you change your mind later.

    That said, if you’re going to off the blog for sure, here is how:
