  Hi, I don’t want to continue on with this blog so I prefer to close it down. How can I go about doing that? Or, if you do it, I am ready to get it done now.

  Thank you!
  Sincerely, Karin

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

  Hello there,
  We cannot do this for you. 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.

  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

  Hi! I want to remove my blog definately, I try going to tools, delete… but then I get this message. HELP me please!

  “Warning! You cannot delete a site if it has a domain registration upgrade because you need access to the site in order to get to the domain manager.
  If you do not want to use your site any more please make it private. Other users won’t be able to visit the site but you can still access the Dashboard so you can get to the domain manager”
