  I no longer want a blog on wordpress.com. My site is melissaconder.com. Please delete this!

  Hi hobee1971,

  Here are the steps to delete your own site.

  I did that and it said my site could not be deleted.

  Ah okay, I have just a couple of questions to try to figure out what’s going on. Are you the account administrator? Have you registered for any of the upgrades? When you received the notification that your site could not be deleted, were there any other messages with it?

  Thanks!

  I do have an upgrade and it tells me I can’t cancel that either.

  This is one message I received when trying to delete. Also, when I try to delete my upgrade it says it cannot be cancelled. I really just want this gone.
  “Domains registered on WordPress.com cannot be deleted here. You must contact Support and request deletion.”

  Thanks for tagging us, @ohstine :)

  @hobee1971, I’ve removed the upgrade for you. You’re welcome to delete the site here now if you’d like: https://wordpress.com/settings

  I tried to delete it and it says my upgrade is still active and will not allow me to delete it.

  Ah, I’d removed the expired upgrade, but there’s another domain.

  If I cancel your domain, it may be difficult if not impossible to get it back. If you’re planning to use it later or at another host, let me know and we’ll help you with that.

  Otherwise, if you’re okay with possibly losing the domain permanently, let me know and I’ll cancel it for you.

  Ok, so I just purchased a Bluehost with my current wordpress email, but the two are not connected. I had a wordpress under a different domain name using the same email, but now that I’ve purchased Bluehost, it logged me into wordpress using the same email, but I can’t seem to log into the account on wordpress. When I try, it takes me to my old wordpress account that unfortunately cannot be deleted. How do I make the connection?

  @theholyhippie, it sounds like you’ve got a different problem. I’m going to go ahead and close this thread since @hobee1971’s issue is resolved, but we’ll see if we can get in touch another way, or you can start a new thread. Cheers. :)
