  I create an account in 2007, since them I’ve started using a new account – mostly for using jetpack.

  I logged into the old account and removed the old blog (swimgeek.wordpress.com). I can’t seem to remove the account totally.

  I’d like to use my old username with the new account.

  Is this possible?

  What is the process?

  btw. I tried to use the old account as my primary account, but seems the username is now not valid there either.

  :-(

  Howdy,

  It looks like you’ve recently renamed the old account from “joefrog” to “oldswimgeek”, however once you change your username you will not be able to change it back and the old name will not be available for you or anyone to use which means the “joefrog” username cannot be used again.

  Let me know if I can help with anything else.
