How do I delete an old free web site?
-
I have a website from way back and it could now be deleted. But I cant access it any more?
How do I proceed?
-
Hi There,
Do you happen to remember or still have access to the email that you signed up with? This site is a great help in gaining back access to your account! The steps on the site are also the only ways to gain access to your account. Thanks, hope this helps! -
Hi!
Yes I did try that, but still cant access my website.
Maybe I need to wait a while (just did it 30 minutes ago)?Thanks fr advice though!
-
So I can get a new password through recovery (still have the same mail!) but when I log in, there is no site connected.
And the site was created 2012, so it was before “My Site” became the dashboard.
-
Is this the site that you are trying to delete?
https://varvetlulea.wordpress.com/
Or is it a different one? If so, can you go to the site and it is still live?
Thanks -

And if I may choose, it might be good if I could access it just to check everything out before I delete it.

Please post the URL starting with http:// of the exact site you refer to. Unless or until you do that we cannot provide any useful assistance.This is wordpress.COM support. We cannot answer any questions posted here accurately until we have the relevant URL and have confirmed hosting.
We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM. That support is found at http://wordpress.ORG/support/
(3) sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin https://jetpack.com/support/ so they display on the My Sites wordpress.com account page.WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, support docs and support forums, run different theme versions of themes with the same names, and many people get confused about the two. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
The wordpress.ORG support forums are at http://wordpress.org/support. The wordpress.ORG login link is here https://login.wordpress.org/ If you do not have an account yet then click Create an account https://login.wordpress.org/register/ and if you have lost an account password click Lost password? https://login.wordpress.org/lostpassword/

Please do not assume that anyone posting here who does not provide the specific URL of a site so you can confirm the hosting is actually referring to a wordpress.COM hosted site. About 30% of those who post here are referring to wordpress.ORG sites and the wordpress.COM account recovery support doc and form does NOT apply to wordpress.ORG sites sites. -
re: https://varvetlulea.wordpress.com/
This is the Support Forum and we do not deal with Account Recovery, as our Account recovery Staff do that.
Companies, groups and organizations of any kind do not own WordPress.COM blogs.
Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.
You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
*Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.
If you are not logged in under the correct username account then clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and then login correctly under the relevant username account.
If the login information has been lost go to
https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/#lost-passwordIf required use the account recovery form
https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/
https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/#account-recovery-formIf you do not have the required access and someone else registered the site you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them transfer the sites to your username account by using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
I’m not even sure which email address this site is attached to.
If you check each and every possible email address and account and are not successful gaining access to the blog(s) then you must complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff, and provide proof ownership, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums, which are available to everyone with internet access.
Support Staff cannot breach the privacy policy and provide the log-in information. You have to provide proof ownership to Account Recovery Staff to gain access https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

OK, I will wait for an answer over e-mail from https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery
