  I created a site with a wordpress domain name that I chose, than I deleted it. Now, I can’t use it again, althought it was deleted, It’s not used by anyone else. So how can I solve this?

  You can accept the fact that it will not be made available for registration again for 2 years just like the relevant support doc states: http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
