  I have screwed something up and now have two blogs with exactly the same name. One is empty – I haven’t posted anything in it. It seems my followers are ending up on this empty one. If I delete this one, will it also delete my real blog? I don’t want to lose all my content!
  Blog url: http://cutenerd74.wordpress.com/

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

  Please don’t delete anything. I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

  Hey there,

  You can safely remove your other blog, accessible via the following URL:
  http://truthaboutjen.wordpress.com/

  Before you do so, would you like me to transfer any of its followers to cutenerd74.wordpress.com?

  Wait to confirm the transfer has gone the way you want. Then, on the dashboard of the blog you want to DELETE, go to Tools->Delete. Realize this is permanent and neither you nor anyone else can ever get it back. We normally just suggest you set it to private so you can play with themes and widgets and codes and stuff. It’s very useful to have a private blog.
