How to restart with wordpress.com
-
Is there a way to undo/delete/restart in wordpress.com? I want to go back to the point where I had just set up a myname.wordpress.com name, I guess a ‘default’ setting if you like. Problem: we chose a theme and then tried customizing/adding pages/deleting pages/menus etc – and we got into a mess. Now when we try to change the theme (& follow along with tutorials), things don’t seem to work properly. Help! #totallywordpressgreen!!!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

You must be logged in under the username account that registered the site first. Then to empty the site you have two options:
(1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
(2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

(1) confirm the URL of the blog(s) you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible. -
Every theme has a detailed theme description page like this one is at
https://wordpress.com/themes/dara/ and a live demo site
https://darademo.wordpress.com/All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
You must be logged in under the exact same username that registered the site to be able to access the site. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
Replace NAME_OF_BLOG in that URL with the actual name of your blog.
