  There does not seem to be any option on the dashboard for making one blog private and using Delete through Tools seems risky as it does not clearly state which blog you are trying to delete. Also it just give me an error saying cannot delete due to domain upgrade.

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

  Dashboard >> Settings >> Reading >> Only visible to those I choose – makes a blog Private and you can use the URL in the future

  Deleting a blog on WordPress.COM kills the URL forever and it can never be used again – and if you delete the wrong blog you are way out of luck

  Thanks auxclass. How do I know which blog I am changing the settings for? It has no indication which leads me to believe it is changing both?

  There is a little icon in the top nav bar – I think it is an eyeball with a line in it – but just log out and visit the blog in question – you will be locked out
