    Hi everyone,

    I created this account for a simple reason.

    Let me explain my problem properly.

    To years ago I created a blog that i won’t upload anymore.

    This blog is hugolatimier.wordpress.com/ this not the one blog on the url blog link.

    I created it under a former email address is (email visible only to moderators and staff). Sadly, because this email address has been attacked created another personal email address and had to close the former one. and i don’t remember the exact password.

    nevertheless, for some professional reason i have to get this blog deleted. The lack of fresh news would make people think i don’t work anymore.

    My question is: is there anyway to get this blog and my former account deleted?

    (can someone from the staff do it?)

    thank you?
    Blog url: http://hugolatimier1.wordpress.com/

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

    What is the URL starting with http:// for the blog in question?
    If you don’t have the log-in information then you will need Staff help. In order to help you get access to your blog so you can delete it Staff need one of the following things in order to correctly identify you as the blog owner:

    1. an email from the email address associated with the account or revealing what that associated email address was

    2. the wordpress.com API key for your account. This was included in your welcome email with a note to keep it safe. Please do not post the API key here.

    3. if you have purchased any upgrades for the blog a transaction number

    P.S. Be ware that deleting the blog does not remove the indexed content in it from Google or other search engines and from their search results. Google clears their caches about every 3 – 6 months but some other search engines never clear them at all.

    thank you for answer.

    1Well i can’t find a mail with the email address but i know it was (email visible only to moderators and staff)

    2 i can’t find my API key because i don’t have access to the mail.

    3 i didn’t purchase any upgrade.

    is it enough?

    If you still have access to the blog – just log in and set it to private or delete the contents of the blog and leave a single Post that says “I have moved to (fill in the link) ”
