How do I delete an old WP site with no delete option?
-
I have two WP blogs. One of them is 12+ years old. I no longer want it in my list, but there is no delete option. In fact, when I open it, there is no ‘Manage’ option at all on the left. How can I delete it?

Hey there,
Can you share the website URL or domain names that you are referring to?
You can use this guide to access your Wp Admin Console

Thanks for the response.
Here’s a link to the site I’m trying to delete: https://wordpress.com/view/parentforward.wordpress.com

Yes. No problems logging in. As of earlier today, I had 6 sites and deleted 4 of them. I have one more to delete, but can’t.

Hi there,
I can see that the owner of parentforward.wordpress.com added your account (@jjadams100) as an ‘author’ but you are not an admin on the site.
Because of this you are not able to delete the site. Only the owner (or another admin) can do that. Is it possible you set up the site on another account that you control? If so you can log out of this one and into that one, and then you will be able to delete the site.
If you do not recall the password you used for your other account, you can reset it here: https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
Hope that helps. Please let us know if you have any more questions.

That helps a lot, thank you.
I’m not the owner of that site, and am no longer in contact with the owner, although I could probably track him down.
If I’m unable to, do you have any suggestions on how I can remove myself?
-
Since you only want to remove yourself from the site, I have taken care of that for you. :)
