    I want to delete my theme. I trashed the whole blog as I could not delete the theme. But the logo still in my account. I do not want it sitting in my account. Thanks.

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

    We do not delete themes here at WordPress.COM. We select new ones and they replace the old ones. Also deleting any URL is permanent just like it says here http://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/ You can never ever get it back again and no one else can use it either. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

    The only themes we can use on WordPress.com blogs like your blog are licensed and adapted to run on our multiuser software the themes are found here http://wordpress.com/themes/

    Themes are just “skins”. You can quickly and easily change themes on any WordPress.COM hosted blog to another one found here http://wordpress.com/themes/ and no data will be lost or negatively affected by the change. The only time you may have to do some work is if you are changing to a dramatically different theme and have done any CSS editing.

    Provided you are logged in as Admin under the same username account that registered the blog go to Dashboard > Appearance > Themes, Browse themes until you find one you like and click “activate” or type in the name of the theme you want to use when it appears.

    After you change your theme all you need to do is go here Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > Inactive Widgets and re-install them where you want them to appear. The widget contents and settings will be the same as they were prior to changing themes.
