how do I get rid of an unwanted blog site

Hi debbygies,
It looks like on March 9, 2013 you did a username change from cubsandpuppies to debbygies.
When you originally signed up on WordPress.com as cubsandpuppies, a matching blog under that name was created for you. That site has had very little traffic since it was created, and unless people have that URL, I see no harm in deleting it if you are certain you will never want to use that URL again. Alternately, you can set the site to private so the site is preserved, but no one will see it, by going to your Dashboard and navigating to Settings > Reading.
If you are having issues with Google, you may wish to utilize the Google Webmaster Tools:

BINGO! My hunches were correct.

Hi Jackie, yes, I think I mentioned when I first signed up wordpress assigned my blogname with my email name and I didn’t want that so I changed it, I suppose without realizing repercussions. Until lately though I never had any comments or problems with followers being led there. I am friends with a few of my bloggers and they have told me my site was blank a few times and they couldn’t seem to track how they got there. So I think I should just leave that site with the note I have posted there saying this isn’t my site and a redirection in case this mysterious route persists. Now that I have had much advice on my blog for help on this issue, I changed my password and I changed a public email and left my cubsandpuppies email as the primary. Now I am no longer getting comments to my cubsandpuppies and they are all going to my gmail, my gosh this is taxing. I wish it would just come to my primary email like I have it set up and my public email is for users I thought the primary email was for wordpress to send me my comments and new posts?

Hi debbygies,
WordPress.com has multiple email addresses for a user: one that’s attached to the user account itself, which is set here:
https://en.wordpress.com/settings/account/And then an email address set for each blog, which is where you will receive notifications. This can be modified in your Dashboard for each blog at Settings > General.
In your case, these are not the same addresses. If you wish, you can update the email address at the following link to match the one that shows up at the first link:

Correct! The first hyperlink in your post goes to my page which is showing the email that is going to my gmail but I changed it yesterday and there is still a message written in red type underneath stating that my change is still pending. I don’t know what that means? So my posts are still going to gmail. Will this get changed or is there a problem?

It is the first links address I wish to change(settings), as I believe that setting will be the one which directs my WP notifications to the address I want,.
-
You will need to confirm any email changes by clicking on a link that was sent to the new email address.

I never received any email with links? Also the email I was trying to change which had in red letters, waiting to approve, the red writing is gone and my email is still the same and no notification from wordpress with a new link?

Hi there,
Please try changing your email address again, and check the email for the new address to confirm. If you aren’t receiving that email, please check your spam filter and your “social” filter if it’s a Gmail address.
