  i have a blog called diakiwsblog. and another ed blog called diakiwsdigest, but somehow another blog has appeared which i must have started. but at 78 i do not know how or when.but when i try to post a new item to either diakiwsblog or diakiwsdigest, it switches to jdiakiwsblog. which i dont want and want to delete it. but i cant get into admin for my main blog, diakiwsblog.it sends a screen message that i do not have permission and i have to ask admin but i AMdo not have permission and i have to ask admin but i AM ADMIN. help

  one message i get is :
  “You are logged in as “diakiwsblog” and do not have the necessary privileges to access the dashboard for “Diakiwsblog”. If you are not “diakiwsblog”, please log out, and log back in with your username. If you are “diakiwsblog” and you need access, please ask an administrator of the site to invite you.”

  but i am the originator, creator and administrator of the original blog!

  This is an actual clickable URL
  https://jdiakiwsblog.wordpress.com/

  This the relevant username accounts
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/jdiakiwsblog

  To delete a WordPress.COM hosted blog you must be logged in as Admin under the exact same username account that registered the blog to navigate to Dashboard > Tools > Delete Site.

  Log out of this account and clear your browser cache and cookies.

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/#clearing-wordpress-com-cookies
  Then login under the correct username account and delete the site.

  The link is http://jdiakiwsblog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/tools.php?page=delete-blog

  The guide is 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.

  Alternatively, to change blog visibility to Private go to > Settings > Reading scroll to Blog Visibility and choose option 3. See the guide here http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/privacy-settings

  Every blog is an independent website. Deleting one blog has no impact on any other blog.

  Hi there! It looks like you have two different WordPress.com accounts associated with these two sites.

  The account that you’re currently logged into is diakiwsblog and owns the sites http://diakiwsdigestdotcom.wordpress.com and http://jdiakiwsblog.wordpress.com.

  The site diakiws.wordpress.com is owned by a different account, so you can not access it while logged into this account. To access this site, you’ll need to log out of your current WordPress.com account and log in using your other username.

  Let me know if you’re not sure what that username is or if you need further help. :)
