I registered domains initially more or less to see how they looked without realizing my ‘trials’ might haunt me forever… NOW I would like to liquidate a few :-)

Hello @timeadeinhardt,
Yes you can delete your secondary sites.To delete a site/blog, go to My Sites > Settings > Delete Site(at the very bottom of the page). Or just click here: https://wordpress.com/settings/general/
or here:
https://wordpress.com/settings/delete-site/YOURSITENAME.wordpress.comReplace YOURSITENAME with the actual name of the blog from your url.
NOTE: To delete a WordPress.COM site/blog you must be logged in as an Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog.
If you cannot login to your account, and you have forgotten the password then you can reset your password by going here: https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If you do not remember the email ID and username associated with your account and want to recover your account then go here:
https://wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery. Someone from the WordPress staff will contact you via email on the email address provided by you on the What email address should we contact you at? field.You can read more about account recovery here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/More information on deleting sites here:
https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/Deleting a site/blog is an irreversible process. Once your site/blog is deleted it cannot be recovered again. Even the blog address of the deleted site cannot be used again by anyone. (Not even by the owner). This is done to prevent your blog from being impersonated by someone else.
If you wish to keep your blog addresses and still delete all the contents of your blog, then you might wanna consider emptying your site instead of deleting it.
You can follow the instructions given here to empty your site:

IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting sites and/or site content or making the site private does not remove indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results) and we cannot help with that. Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):
