How do I delete the name of this blog or turn the name over to someone else?
-
I was the initial blogger who started this blog for the owner of a business. They never did anything with it, but they want to now. So, how do I delete it and turn the name of it over to them, so they can begin anew with it with their own material? I would like anything on it to be wiped off. Thank you.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
You can export the content out. See here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/export/
Or you can delete the content in bulk. You must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog. Then you can quickly remove your contents by deleting them in bulk.

http://en.support.wordpress.com/trash/#deleting-permanentlyIMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any indexed content 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.
Every blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the username account who registered the blog under that username account. No matter how many blogs are created under any username account there will be only one gravatar and one primary blog that can be linked to that username.
You will have to add the other username account as an Admin
adding users http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/
user roles http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/
And then use the process to transfer the blog to the other username account which is found here http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-accountAfter you have done that see here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#leave-a-blog

DON’T DELETE THE BLOG – That will kill the URL forever –
transfer the ownership as shown above after you clear the contents using the above instructions –

Good warning! I ought to have posted it so thank you.
Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

You be welcome
See a study stream of deleted the blog to clear content, deleted the blog to free the name up, deleted the blog to give it to another account, and the list goes on and on – I just wanted to make sure they did not delete the blog since that was part of their original question
