  I would like to remove an old wordpress.com site that I no longer have the email for. I forgot the password and the email address I created it with was deleted long ago. The site is http://newlifeproject.wordpress.com/ I created this back in 2009 and I would like to either delete it or get rid of the content some how.

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

  Hi there,
  You can’t delete the blog until you can log into it so that requires recovering the account first.

  You must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog in order to access the blog.

  Clicking this link should display all your blogs registered under the same username, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden

  If you do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then
  follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility

  If you need to recover the account visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
  then click the “Need More Help” link and complete the form for account recovery. https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  After you recover it see 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.
