  How long will it take for wordpress to “forget” the domain? I want to point it to wordpress again.

  It’s not a good idea to wait untill a domain becomes available again as chances are high you will never be able to recover it. Also note it can take quite some time before a domain becomes available again – https://wordpress.com/support/domains/domain-expiration/#stages-of-domain-expiration

  I still own the domain and it’s still up and running, I have registered it on “webbsupport”. So it’s not that the domain is deleted.
  It’s just detached from WordPress, but I would like to point it towards WordPress again..
  
  Is this still a problem you think?
