  I am trying to delete all of the blogs associted with my account. I continue to get the email from WordPress to my inbox when I go through “Tools” but when I click on the link, I get a message on teh WordPress site saying that it does not work or has expired. PLEASE DELETE ALL OF MY BLOGS. I do not want them showing up on my account or on the web. Please confirm once complete. Thank you. -Vanessa

  Hello there,
  To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link in the email does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

  Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3 . See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any 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.

  Hi there. Thank you for the response. I have tried this however when I click on the link that I receive in my email inbox, it takes me to WordPress and gives me this message: I’m sorry, the link you clicked was invalid or has expired. Please try again or contact support.

  I have also tried turning my site settings to private in the interim however it is still visible when I go to the URL. Can you please delete the blog on your end?
