  Hi there,

  You have a couple of choices:

  • Empty your site
  • Delete your site

  Have a look through those help pages, hopefully, they help.

  If you have any questions, please post a follow-up.

  Cheers,
  Eric

  @ericfri, they asked how to delete the content of their site, not how to delete the site itself. Please be aware of the documentation you share. Thank you :)

  @fstat

  Thanks for the feedback, you’re right :)
  Deleting the site is not what they asked for and would likely be overkill.

  @universityofskill Let me just add that if you want to remove all your content, Staff can empty the site for you. If this is the case, please let us know.

  Before Staff empty your site, they will need you to confirm that you understand that once they clear out your site content (including all posts, pages, comments, media, etc.), you will not be able to recover it.

  
  @ericfri Just also noting that deleting a WordPress.com site also deletes the site address and prevents it from being reused.
