How can I restore an accidentally deleted site?
-
I made a huge mistake and deleted a site, without realizing that that meant I couldn’t reclaim the domain under another account. Let me start at the beginning: I created this account, forgot about it, accidentally created another account and then when I went to claim this particular url, realized I had created it under a different account name. I was hoping to move the domain on this account to the other/newer account and thought I’d have to delete it here and then create it anew on the other. I’m now realizing that this was totally wrong. Is there any way to restore this domain on this account again?
I know there were several prompts during the deletion process but they all sounded like they were warning about losing any entries/pics on the blog and I hadn’t put anything on it yet, so I figured I was okay. Again, totally my mistake. I just hope to be able to get the url back…
(Here’s to hoping there’s someone at WordPress that could hit a button or flip a switch *fingers crossed*)

https://pinarwastaken.wordpress.com is no longer available. The authors have deleted this site.
Too bad you ignored the warnings. That’s not possible and it’s clearly stated in the relevant support docs. Blog deletion is a permanent and irreversible act. Deleting a site requires ignoring several warnings that the URL cannot be registered again by you or anyone else. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/
Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.

Edit: Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and the only exceptions made are for URLs deleted 2 or more years ago. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

Sadly, that’s the case, in this case. But you can register another site and even buy a custom domain mapping upgrade for it.
