  I don’t want to renew my blog, and want to delete it, but it won’t let me.

  I get this message when I go to delete it:

  “Warning! You cannot delete a site if it has a domain registration upgrade because you need access to the site in order to get to the domain manager.

  If you do not want to use your site any more please make it private. Other users won’t be able to visit the site but you can still access the Dashboard so you can get to the domain manager.”

  I don’t want to pay for a renewal, so making it private is not what I want.

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

  I can absolutely help you with that.

  Just to clarify, if you want to cancel your domain electsarahfor5.com it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and it may not choose to do so. We can’t guarantee that your domain will ever be available to you again once canceled. If you have any intention of using electsarahfor5.com again in the future, I suggest that you do not choose to cancel.

  Please confirm that you understand and want to cancel your domain. Once you have done so, I will cancel it and remove the upgrade from your account.

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

  I also need to delete my blog http://www.redbudpress.co, but when I try to do that I receive the message: Warning! You cannot delete a site if it has a domain registration upgrade because you need access to the site in order to get to the domain manager.

  If you do not want to use your site any more please make it private. Other users won’t be able to visit the site but you can still access the Dashboard so you can get to the domain manager.

  I have made it private, but I do not plan to use the site or domain in the future. Please delete the site or let me know how I can do this.

  Thank you for your assistance.

  This is to confirm that I do want my blog and domain redbudpress.co deleted. Another press has a very similar domain and name. I will not be using the blog or domain in the future.

  Thank you.
