  I have another blog that I cannot get into. i need to delete the entire thing. The problem is I know the uesrname – but not the password. And the email registered is no longer in use.

  Any help would be great.

  Is it a blog provided by and hosted by WordPress.COM? If and only if the answer to that is yes then you can use account recovery first and then delete the blog. Complete the form for account recovery here https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery

  You must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered the blog to delete it. Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to reuse its WordPress.com address so you must be sure you never want to use the blog again if you delete it. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. 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.

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

  IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blog content and deleting blogs does not remove any indexed content from the SERPs (search engine page results). Google and Bing only clear their caches of deleted indexed content that produces a 404 (page not found) every 3 – 6 months. We cannot help with search engine issues. See:
