I created a blog by mistake, and just want to delete the blog.

    I created a blog by mistake, and just want to delete the blog. Specifically, I want to un-create the blog so that some time in the future, if I want to do everything all over again (including saving a screenshot of each step in the creation process), everything will be as if I had never created the blog in the first place.

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

    Sorry, the blog URL is vanadiel.home.blog, not dekudekuplex.wordpress.com.

    Basically, I just need the blog deleted and the URL released, but not unavailable, so that if I later want to create a series of screenshots including one showing choosing the same URL from a list of URLs, that screenshot can be taken as well (unless someone else has chosen it before me).

    In particular, I do need to take a screenshot of the page in the sequence showing choosing the URL from a list of URLs, so the URL must not be fixed (it was not fixed before creating the blog).

    Hi there!

    If you delete the site, you won’t be able to sue the same URL in the future. So, if you want to keep the address to create your blog later, I suggest that you set it up as private for now.

    Have a look at these instructions to learn how to do that:

    If I set it up as private, how do I later create a series of screenshots including one showing choosing the same URL from a list of URLs, as when I did when first attempting to set up the blog?

    Is there a reason you need to take a screenshot of you choosing and creating the address? It is not possible to recycle blog addresses or delete & recreate them. Now that the site is created, there is no way to reverse the process.

    The best bet is to either set the site to private, or if you need to screenshot the creation process, choose a different address.

    Thanks,
