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

Hi there,
You can change that under Store > My Domains in your site’s dashboard, using the “Edit Domain” button:
https://starcrumbles.wordpress.com/wp-admin/paid-upgrades.php?page=domains
On the “Name Servers” tab in the domain manager, make sure the option “Use WordPress.com name servers” is selected.
Then, go to the “Edit DNS” tab and remove any custom DNS records (such as custom A records) that point somewhere besides WordPress.com. You can remove a DNS record by hovering over it and clicking the trash icon on the far right.
When you’re done, be sure to click the Save Changes button. Please let me know if I can do anything more to help with that. :)

I did delete the custom DNS records and I have the name servers already on the WordPress.com ones. The problem is, I deleted the A record for wordpress.com by mistake, and I get an error now.

Hm, that’s odd — sorry about that! I just deleted the one custom A record that was left, which restored the default WordPress.com records for you, so you’re all set with that.
It can take some time (sometimes up to 72 hours) for that change to take effect everywhere, so you might not see your domain point back to WordPress.com right away. If it still isn’t working after a few days, please let me know!
