How can I start over and delete the content but keep the URL?
-
I was told under site settings to ask support to help me clear my current website so I can start over. I deleted the Blog Page and now I don’t have one, and I want to keep the URL but start over.
Please and thank you!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You have two options.
If you want to retain the blog URL (note that no deleted URL can be registered again). https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/ and you are willing to wait rather than doing this yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/ then Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.
If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention and post again into this thread to:
(1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

(1) I want you to empty storiesfromskidrow.wordpress.com
(2) I confirm that I know that content deletion is irreversible. -

Thank you timethief for your help!
Guess what! I actually figured out the problem. I don’t need my site emptied anymore!
MODS: I don’t want the site emptied anymore. Thanks!
