How to delete old wordpress.com domain after having upgraded to a custom domain?

How do I delete my old wordpress.com domain (amessofajess.wordpress.com) after having upgraded to a custom domain (roomsofthought.com)? When I go to my dashboard it still says amessofajess.wordpress.com underneath the blog title/link, but then when I click on the link it takes me to my blog with the roomsofthought.com domain. I went into “My Domains” and set roomsofthought.com as my primary domain, but it says that amessofajess.wordpress.com is my default blog address. I want to get rid of it altogether!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Jessica,
Please note that the domain: amessofajess.wordpress.com never deletes, which is actually a good thing so if you one day decide not to renew the domain or it expires accidentally all your content will still be available at amessofajess.wordpress.com.
However, as long as you keep your domain renewed, your readers will see your site at roomsofthought.com. Even if they go to amessofajess.wordpress.com they will be automatically redirected to roomsofthought.com.
As for seeing the domain: amessofajess.wordpress.com in your Dashboard – please note that your readers cannot see that as they would have to be logged into your account to see that.
Let me know if you have any questions with this!
