  How can I delete an inactive site/blog from my wordpress.com dashboard?
  I understand I should have deleted it from the blog itself, but that doesn’t exist anymore so I don’t have any option to do that. It still shows at wordpress.com though.

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

  You cannot remove it but Staff can so thanks for providing the URL. I tagged this thread for Staff to remove it for you. In the future you will be able to do this yourself. Be patient while waiting please. To subscribe to this thread so your are notified when that happens, look in the sidebar of this thread, find the subscribe to topics link and click it.

  I’ve removed these sites from your account

  [site names redacted by staff]

  creasy.wordpress.com is a WordPress.com site. If you’d like to delete it you can follow the instructions here

  Delete a Website

  and change [site names redacted by staff]

  I can’t change this URL. I can delete the one that is connected now so you can reconnect the other if you would like.

  Thanks a lot!
  And is it possible to remove these posts now, so search engines won’t pick up the urls?

  Think before you post – this is a public forum. Forum topics will only be deleted at the discretion of Staff if they represent a valid security or personal safety concern. https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/wordpresscom-forums-community-standards?replies=1

  Ehm, I wanted to remove my websites – there was no option to do it on my own. So I had to post them here. But I obviously don’t want them to remain public “forever” now.

  I’m sorry you did not use
  help@wordpress.com
  so your communication with Staff was private but you posted to this public support forum instead. :(

  It was the option which was given to me, when I visited the help section. There was no mention of any email.
