  I can’t delete an OLD BLOG … it keeps appearing in search engines… and diverting people away from my new site, which is with a non-Wordpress site.

  What can I do?

  Hi there,

  Sharing the URL of your site will help us figure out which site needs deleting.

  Have you tried to delete it, but are receiving an error message? Are you locked out of the account that owns the site? Or are you unsure of how to delete it?

  If you’ve tried to delete it but can’t, it may be that there’s a paid upgrade on it. Sharing the URL will let staff cancel the upgrade, meaning you can delete it.
  If you’re locked out of the account that owns the site, try heading to https://wordpress.com/support/account-recovery/ and ask here if you have any more questions.
  To delete the site, go to My Site > Manage > Settings and scroll down to the end of the page to delete the site permanently. https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/.
  You will receive an email about this. The site will be deleted after 30 days.

  I hope this helps! I’ve tagged this thread for staff attention in case you need their help.

  @sianfaberartworks, there are no sites under your account so, if you could answer @writer0001 questions, we may be able to advise better.
