Didn’t mean to set up site

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi – am not sure how I have set up a site but all I wanted to do was look at something on Tania Marshall’s site and now it’s saying I have a site called Tania Marshall! I seem to have clicked something when all I was doing was reading her information. I don’t want a word press site myself.

    WP.com: Yes
    Correct account: Yes

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

  • Hi there,

    You created this WordPress.com account and site on the same day, around six weeks ago, so I’m guessing you tried to do something on the site that required you to be logged into a WordPress.com account, and in the account registration process you created a site as well.

    Your WordPress.com account is completely free, but I can understand that you don’t want to have a site bearing someone else’s name in it :)

    Click on My Site top left of the screen, and go to Settings ->General. You’ll find the option to delete the site at the bottom of that page:

    https://wordpress.com/en/support/delete-site/

    Once the site is deleted, you can continue using this username account without a site – this account lets you follow any site in the WordPress.com Reader, it will allow you to Like posts on sites, and it will allow you to comment on sites without having to fill out your name and email first – if you comment while logged into WordPress.com the comment form will automatically use your account details.

    But if you prefer to completely delete the account as well, you can do that from this page:

    https://wordpress.com/me/account

    Let me know if you have any questions.
