  I deleted my blog but it still shows up when I search it on Google! I accidentally linked my Tumblr and the blog got swamped with 16,000 pictures! Since the blog is still there, my new blog is not the first thing when searched. Please help!
  Blog url: http://thenewbostonian.wordpress.com/

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  http://thenewbostonian.wordpress.com/ is certainly not deleted. If you’re talking about another blog, please give us the URL.

  Oh yes, I see what you mean. You didn’t actually delete it. To do that (which is permanent; neither you nor anyone else can use that content OR that URL ever again) go to the dashboard of that specific blog, ->Tools->Delete blog. That should do it.

  Alternately, you could jsut set it to Private. Then nobody can see it and you have a spare blog for tinkering with themes, etc. Very handy sometimes.

  This is exactly what I did before and it no longer shows up on my WordPress account so I have no control over what goes on with that blog. It just shows up when searched.

  Oh, THIS issue again. I’m going to flag this for staff; they’ll have to take care of it. You’re not the first with an issue like this.

  Hey there,

  It looks like the blog in question is still associated with your account.

  Can you access the blog’s dashboard directly?

  THIS IS NOT THE BLOG I WANT TO DELETE!
  I want to delete a previous blog I had called eliseinboston.wordpress.com

  Hey there,

  I’ve changed a few things on our end so you can access your old blog again. You should be able to delete your blog now.

  Please let me know if you require any further help.

  Best,
  P.
