How do I delete an old blog that no longer appears in my admin console?

    I have an old blog site of my at http://noahsettersten.wordpress.com. There’s no longer any content on this side and I’ve moved any of my data over to self-hosted blogs running on different domains.

    I’d like to shut down this old blog site and delete its URL, etc. Unfortunately, it doesn’t show up in my admin console for my account at all. Is there any way to either relink this site to my console or have it deleted manually?

    (FYI: the blog listed in the blog URL dropdown is unrelated. I was forced to select it to let the form submit.)

    Thanks!

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

    It looks like you are logged in under the wrong username account.
    See here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/noahsettersten and note that username matches http://noahsettersten.wordpress.com/

    The Admin login link is http://noahsettersten.wordpress.com/wp-admin/

    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

    Your last resort for obtaining access is to complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery with as much information as possible and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.
