  I’m sorry. I’ve already messed up with this. I have two E-mail ID. I wanted to change the mail ID, which I don’t know how to do. So I added the other as admin and tried to remove the previous. Now I’m unable to remove the user with old E- mail ID.

  Sad thing is my blog front page displays two writers now. Please do help.

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

  Hi,

  For security reasons, WordPress.com doesn’t allow users to delete the original owner/administrator of a website. The way to change the owner/administrator from one user to another is to transfer the site to another account. See the Transferring a Site to Another WordPress.com Account support page.
