    That’s not a valid URL. This is a valid URL https://foodicineweightlossnation.wordpress.com/

    We cannot do this for you.

    All blogs are independent websites. What you do on one has NO impact on others. To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site. The guide is here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

    Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made except for the one stated here http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

    Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

    I assume it was registered under this username account https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/foodicineweightlossnation so you have to log out and clear your browser cache https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-your-browser-cache and cookies https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies and sign in under the account that registered the site to delete it.

    After the blog’s owner logs in clicking this link should display all blogs registered under the same username account, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

    If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then you need to follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

    If the log-in information is lost you need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword

    This support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/ covers how the blog’s owner can change or reset their account password, and keeping their WordPress.com account (and other online services) secure. See also Selecting a Strong Password https://en.support.wordpress.com/selecting-a-strong-password/

    If you check each and every possible email address and account and are not successful gaining access to the blog(s) then the blog’s owner must complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff, and provide proof ownership, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums, which are available to everyone with internet access.
