How Do I Retrieve My Cancelled Account Details?
-
I signed up for WordPress recently, it didn’t seem to be what I was looking for, so I deleted my account. However, I decided to research it further, but it appears that my details from the cancelled account weren’t deleted; making them unavailable to me now. How do I restore my original account information? I created my account under (email visible only to moderators and staff) with the url of carissaanneholiday.wordpress.com. Again, I cancelled that account, but those details don’t seem to have been cleared.
I’m an avid “Blogger” user and am hoping through my wordpress research that I’ll be able to EASILY transfer my html to wordpress.
Thank you!

You couldn’t have deleted your account completely—on wordpress.com, you can delete blogs but not whole accounts.
If you’ve lost the password for that original account, you can retrieve it here: Lost Password
Once you get logged in to your account again, you’ll be able to change your settings at https://en.wordpress.com/settings/account/ and view your blog list at http://en.wordpress.com/my-blogs/.
When you’ve sorted that and you’re ready, here is a guide here for moving from Blogger to WordPress.com: Coming from Blogger?

Oh my GOODNESS thank you for the quick and very thorough response! I am excited to hear there is a “coming from blogger” option!!! Thank you again, hopefully I won’t have any further questions! I appreciate the welcome back!

No problem! Absolutely check back in if you find the support resources don’t answer all your questions.

Thank you. I got as far as going to the admin page, but once there, it tells me it’s no longer available because the author has deleted the site???

So, can you confirm you were able to retrieve your password and log in with your username? And once there, you found that the site itself had been deleted? Or were you unable to log in anywhere at all?
If it’s the former, it makes sense. If you deleted the blog itself before you left before, then it will be unavailable now and forever. You’ll need to start a new blog using that existing account.

It looks like the problem is that I didn’t have a blog created yet; therefore when I try to create one, my desired url shows as already taken. I don’t see the option of creating a new post because the blog wasn’t created. I may be stuck :-/
-
Yes, exactly—you’ll need to create a new blog with a new url. Deleted blog urls aren’t recoverable.
From Delete Site:
Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com).
