  I have two blogs under My Blogs. I changed the name of one and did not check the ?Yes, please permanently disable thelifeaquaponics.wordpress.com’ box by mistake. I only wish to have one blog: thelifeaquaponic

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

  Hi there.

  Deleting the blog will wipe out both the content AND the address, cannot be undone and cached copies of the page may still exist on search engines for several weeks. Consider setting the blog to private rather than deleting. If it then comes up in search results visitors will only see a page stating that the blog is private. You can then use that private blog as a test or backup site for your regular one.

  You can set it to hidden in the My Blogs screen in the WP-Admin dashboard, then it won’t appear on your My Sites page.

  If you still want to delete it, you can do so from Tools ->Delete Blog in the WP-Admin dashboard. To delete your blog you must be logged in under the exact same username with which you created it. Make sure that you are in the dashboard of the blog you want to delete, especially as the two URLs are so similar.

  To prevent accidental deletion there will be multiple warnings that it cannot be reversed and you will have to click on a link in a confirmation email before your site will be deleted. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
