How do I delete a blog but not the entire blogsite?

  • Unknown's avatar

    I want to delete the blog “familyengagement.wordpress.com” – the blog was time-limited, and now it’s past the expiration date. However, I don’t want to delete my entire site (philkoshkin.wordpress.com) – I’d like to keep that site because I’m planning register another blog there. But when I went to Tools >> Delete Blog, the instructions said that if I completed the delete action, I would also lose “philkoshkin.wordpress.com”. How do I delete just “familyengagement.wordpress.com”?

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

    All blogs are independent. It matters not how many are registered under the same username account because deleting one blog has ZERO effect on any other 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.

    To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/
