  I made this blog when I was in college, and attached it to a now defunct yahoo email address that has been deleted. I’d like to make the blog set to private, as my name and social links are still all over it.

  Per the below help article, it seems this is the only option for a free blog, as I can’t track payment history (as there is none) per the required proof:

We have a strict policy to protect our users from third parties who might try to use our system to gain access to other users’ accounts. The following options are available in this circumstance: If there is personal information on your website, you may request that we set it to private so that search engines and the public can’t access it.”
