lost access to manage my site-want to delete it
-
Hi – I was just trying to figure out how to remove my greatwest.wordpress.com site and something went wrong. I attempted to update my email in the account settings and now that website doesn’t turn up in my dashboard at all. Logged in with other email and it isn’t there.
Anyway, the site is old and outdated and I want to remove it. Please help.
thanksThe blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello,
I’m going to type modlook in the tags box for this thread on the right side of this page. You should subscribe to this thread that way once staff reaches out you will know.

Please see here https://en.forums.wordpress.com/profile/greatwest and note the matching username account.
Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.
You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard. The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with the actual blog’s name in that URL.
After the blog’s owner logs in clicking this link should display all blogs registered under the same username account, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
If the blog’s owner does not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then they need to follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility
If the log-in information is lost they need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If you do not have the required access you need to contact the person who registered the account and site under it and have them transfer the sites to your username account by using this process. http://en.support.wordpress.com/moving-a-blog/#transferring-your-blog-to-another-user-or-account
If you check each and every possible email address and account and are not successful gaining access to the blog(s) then you must complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff, and provide proof ownership, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums, which are available to everyone with internet access.
Support Staff cannot breach the privacy policy and provide the log-in information. You have to provide proof ownership to Account Recovery Staff to gain access https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

I barely got started setting up my account and started getting about 2000 emails a day, mostly from WordPress.
I have nothing under my manage purchases so i cannot deactivate. I see you say that staff will have to delete my account, but how do you get in touch with staff. I have lost 2 days of work because of this and am self-employed. -
