  I have three blogs and I want to delete one of them because it has no use. How do you do that?

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

  Switch your site, and chose the site that you want to delete, Go to dashboard – -> Tools – -> Delete Site – -> Delete it. Confirm the link in your email.

  Hope that helps

  Do also be aware that once deleted, both the site content AND the site address will be gone forever.

  If there is even the tiniest chance that you may want to use that site address in the future, you can change the site visibility settings to Private and keep it out of both the public’s view and search engines. Here’s more on that:

  Private is MUCH better – we have so many people show up in the forum wanting their old content back or the blog name URL that you would be amazed – with private as @justjennifer points out – you can reuse things – changing minds is very common
