  I have multiple url’s i would like to delete and address my blog to one. I am unsure of which settings I should choose in transferring or deleting. stupidisk.wordpress.com is what i want to get rid of and change to isisluxe.wordpress.com which is attached to an empty url. Please advise.

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

  You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click. Once clicked the blog URL is forever gone, gone, gone. 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.

  To change blog visibility to private go to > Settings > Reading. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings/

  So I ended up deleting the blog so I could rename the one i have to that one and it is saying that it already exists. I got that same message prior to deleting it. Can i not use that name again even though it is deleted??

  :( and thank you for your reply.

  No. You cannot recover or register any deleted blog URL. Deleted blog URLs are not recycled, regardless of who registered and deleted them and no exceptions are made.

  You can register another .wordpress.com blog http://en.support.wordpress.com/register-a-blog/

  Then if you wish to you can register a domain via a domain mapping upgrade because it does not matter what the underlying .wordpress.com address is when you are domain mapping.
