  Hi there,

  Warning: Deleted blog URLs cannot be registered again for 2 years following deletion. http://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You must be logged in under the username account that registered the site first. Then to empty the site and keep the URL you have two options:
  (1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself via bulk deletion http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
  (2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.

  If you are not logged in under the correct username account then 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 prior to logging into another account

  If you have a lot of content, 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.

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove indexed content 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):

  If you have a lot of content and you are sure you want Staff to proceed, and you are prepared to wait then type modlook into the tags in the sidebar of this thread for Staff attention, and post here again to:
  (1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
  (2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible.
