  I deleted my blog, when trying to re-register it says Sorry, that site already exists!

  http://www.exquisitecanes.wordpress.com says the blog has been deleted. Is there a way I can get that username again?

  Didn’t you read the warnings on the delete site page about never being able to get it back, that deleting it was permanent? There were warnings as well in the confirmation email sent to you as well.

  You will have to sign up for a different name/URL.
