  Hello! I have created a second site (winevogue.wordpress.com) by mistake under my current existing account (@stylishtatie). As I want it to be a separate one, I deleted it immediately. But unfortunately now I can’t get the name and create a blog as the system doesn’t give it to me.

  Is there any period of time that is needed for the system to ‘release’ the name? Or how can I get it?

  Thank you!

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

  Hello,
  I am just repeating here what @timethief has said this in forum topic: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/recover-deleted-blog-name-or-url?replies=3

  You cannot register any deleted blog URL. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and it must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click. Once the verification link for deletion is clicked the blog URL is forever gone, gone, gone.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

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

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
