  I want to delete the three blogs, which have not been updated for some time, and start over.

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

  Do you want to delete the whole blog and never ever use the URL (blog address) again?

  Or do you want to clear the content out and start a new blog at the same URL (blog address)?

  Which one is it please?

  1. Delete blog content only – keep URL (blog address)
  you can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.
  bulk delete images & media http://en.support.wordpress.com/media/deleting-files/#bulk-deletion
  bulk delete posts > http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit
  bulk delete pages > http://en.support.wordpress.com/pages/edit-pages-screen/#bulk-edit
  Here’s how to permanently delete Trash >

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove any indexed items from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months.

  To get started with blogging use the helpful tutorial Staff have linked to the bottom of your Admin page at http://learn.wordpress.com

  2. Delete blog URL (blog address)
  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/
  Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address. If you delete a blog you will not be able to get it back and no one else will be able to use that blog address. You must be sure you never want to use the blog again if you delete it.

  There are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent. A verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If you clicked it and the blog was deleted it’s game over. http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
