    I want to empty my site of all of it contents, pages and posts. I want to completely start over but keep my URL/address. I have no idea how and every time I click the “contact us” button to contact wordpress support so they can take care of my issue it has me running around in circles. So I need to get this taken care of please and thank you!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Not to worry. That’s happening because you don’t have an upgrade.

    If you want to retain the blog URL (note that no deleted URL can be registered again). https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/ and you are willing to wait rather than doing this yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/ then Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.

    If you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait in the queue for that to happen then you type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention and post again into this thread to:

    (1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
    (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content does not remove it from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
