  I’m trying to delete my blog “Baseball Analogy Film Reviews,” but I can’t get into it to take it down. I’ve been able to take down my other blog, but every time I try to log in to the film review blog, it takes me to the blog I already deleted. Please let me know what I can do. I’m trying every email address I may have used to set up the blog, but none of them work, or if they do get me in, they go to my deleted account. Please email me at (email visible only to moderators and staff).

  Thank you,
  Glenn Berggoetz

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

  What are the username accounts involved here?
  Which one registered which blog?

  You must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you have lost your log-in information you can visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  and if required click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery.

  After you have recovered the account you can delete the blog. To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. 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 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.

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

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  That blog is registered under a different account (glennberggoetz). Only the blog owner can delete the blog.

  If you don’t have access to your account or forgot the password, you can request a new password by entering your email address here:

  http://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

  Please follow the instructions carefully. You’ll receive an email during the reset process, so please make sure you read it for instructions. If you don’t receive the email right away, check your spam folder as well because the confirmation email can end up there.

  Once you’ve reset your account password, you can see our suggestions for choosing a strong password here:
