I need to delete a blog
-
I have to delete a blog, or some contents in the blog, because it contains some personal pictures and information, but the email associated with the blog has been deleted due to inactivity and I don’t remember the password, I didn’t have any transaction before so I cannot provide any transaction information to recover the blog. What should I do? Is there anyone in WordPress that I can contact to assist me with this issue?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
Actually the blog that I need help with is another blog which was set up by an organization, not the blog that is mentioned in my earlier post. Is there anyone that I can talk to from WordPress? Again, it contains some personal information that I don’t want to be publicly shared through the blog.

We provide support here only for WordPress.COM hosted blogs.
We do not provide support for WordPress.ORG software installs.
Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/I’m sorry but we cannot provide accurate answers to any blogger who fails to provide the exact URL starting with http:// for the exact blog they refer to so we can verify where it is hosted. Please do that now because about 30% of those who post here every day are posting to the wrong support forum.
If you do not wish to provide the URL then read https://en.support.wordpress.com/help-support-options/
In addition to support options linked to above we can email
help@wordpress.com
or
support@wordpress.com
but it takes longer if we do that. -

Also note my response to you here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/delete-a-site-5?replies=2#post-2185943 from 5 months ago and note that not single thing has changed. What I posted there stands.
Staff cannot violate the privacy policy. Companies do not own blogs. Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner and it is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and their associated email address.
The blog’s owner must be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog and purchased upgrades to renew them, or transfer the blogs and the upgrades to another username account, or to use the lost password link, or account recovery form, or to delete the blog.

Yes, I do note your response from 5 months ago, but since no one can remember the password, and our yahoo email has been deleted due to inactivity, I (or other members of the organization) cannot access the blog, we also didn’t have any transaction with WordPress, so we cannot provide any transaction proof as required if we want to recover the account. While there are some personal information published in that blog that violates my privacy. So how can WordPress help in this case?
-
There is no help we can provide. Only the blog’s actual owner can recover the account, https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery so they can access the blog, and delete any content in it, or delete the entire blog.

The person who had this username account https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/ppiindia registered this blog https://ppiindia.wordpress.com/ on December 5, 2005 (9 years ago).

Yes, I do remember the username since I was one of the people who could access the blog until few years ago, but I have been asking to several other people and no one remember the password, and there is no way to retrieve the yahoo email associated with the blog.
-
I’m sorry but there is only one means of account recovery and it is to share as much information as you can in an account recovery form at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.

Yep, and I have been looking for a way to find solution for this issue with someone through email, and not through the forum, but I couldn’t find any.
