  Sorry, there’s no way to do that on a WordPress.com blog; your only option is to delete the posts one at a time. It’s something that’s been suggested before, though, so you might like to add your support by sending an email to staff when support opens.

  I can do this. It’s the “Nuclear” option.

  It entirely resets the blog.
  All posts go
  All comments go
  All pages go
  All uploads go
  Everything is gone. No undo. No “Oops”. Permanent

  There is no half way option, it’s all or nothing.
  So if you want to save anything at all – do not try for this.

  But it has to be done through support and you have to agree, confirm the blog address and use the admin email address of course.

  To delete a blog:
  – click Options
  – click Delete
  – check a box
  – click a button
  – wait…
  – open email
  – click link

  I still get people saying they “accidentally” deleted their blog. Last week I even got an “accidental” upgrade.
  I have people who say that their space was full so they deleted their images to make some room and “Why aren’t my pictures in my posts any more?”
  I have people who delete a post “accidentally” and that also is something you need to make an effort for.

  And deleting posts really is permanent. Your only hope is Google’s cache.

  So while it’s a good idea for some, it’s a loaded gun for others.
