  I would like to delete my website, but wordpress says I can’t do that because my domain name hasn’t been deleted. When I try to delete the domain name, it says to contact them in order to delete it, but I cannot find how to contact them.

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

  I can absolutely help you with that.

  Just to clarify, if you want to cancel your domain isaaclaughhunnministries.com it can take up to several weeks for our domain registrar to release the domain, and it may not choose to do so. We can’t guarantee that your domain will ever be available to you again once canceled. If you have any intention of using isaaclaughhunnministries.com again in the future, I suggest that you do not choose to cancel.

  Please confirm that you understand and want to cancel your domain. Once you have done so, I will cancel it and remove the upgrade from your account.

  Please let me know if you have further questions or if anything is unclear.

  I have canceled that domain for you. You should be able to delete your site now.

  All blogs are independent websites so what you do one one has no effects on any others. To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog 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.

  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/

  It says it is going to send me an e-mail so I can delete the site but I never get the e-mail.

  I can help you out.

  First, please acknowledge that you understand that deletion is a permanent act. Once I delete isaaclaughhunn.wordpress.com, that data will be gone forever. It cannot be recovered and the URL isaaclaughhunn.wordpress.com will not be available for future use by you or any other WordPress.com user.

  Please confirm that you understand and that you want to delete: isaaclaughhunn.wordpress.com
