  I need to delete a wordpress blog that was posted 10+ years ago as a college homework assignment… I can’t access this login info because the college email was deactivated. How can I have this site removed??

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Unknown

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to moderators and staff)

  Hi there,

  I’m sorry to hear you’ve lost access to your WordPress.com account.

  Did you purchase an upgrade for the site? If so, a transaction ID from the upgrade can be used as confirmation of ownership. You can see more details about this here (including details of obtaining the transaction ID without the original emailed receipt):

  If you aren’t able to provide an email from the email address with which the blog was registered, a transaction ID, or the original activation link, I’m afraid we won’t be able to help you recover the account.

  We have a strict policy in place to protect our users from third parties who might try to use our support system to gain access to other users’ accounts.

  However, if there’s personal information on your blog, I would be happy to set it to private, so that search engines and users can’t access it and your blog will be hidden from public view. Just let me know if you want us to do that for you.

  Thank you!
