  Apologies if this has already been discussed.

  I deleted an old account on WordPress and recently activated a new one. Is there anyway to retrieve my old address? Despite being deleted, WordPress still considers my old domain name as taken.

  Thanks

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

  The authors have deleted this site.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated at http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/.

  You can register another .wordpress.com URL and then purchase an upgrade plan so you can map to an existing domain.

  Register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Purchase a domain mapping upgrade knowing it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
