I deleted my site but I want to recreate it with the same name, how?
-
I once created a site on here but I did not feel I was ready for it yet. I deleted that site. Now I would like to start it up again. However I want to name it the same thing. The system says the site exists already but when I go to the url it is already deleted. How can I recreate this site with that name?

The answer is “you can’t”. Be aware that site deletion at WordPress.COM is a permanent and irreversible act. That is why there are multiple warnings to that effect that one has to ignore in order to delete any wordpress.COM blog. https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/
I am sorry but you cannot register a deleted blog URL. No one can use a deleted blog URL regardless of who registered it. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled here and you can confirm by reading:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/delete-blog/

Or you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade and it will not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is.
