My old deleted blog shows up when I google it?
-
A few months I started a hiking blog called http://thehikingjuggernaut.wordpress.com/
I accidently deleted my blog last month. Now when I google it…. the url shows up — along with all my old posts and I cannot log into my dashboard either. Frustrating.
I would like to recover my old hiking blog and continue blogging, but if I can’t then I want it permanently deleted.
I have tried logging in with my old username and password and it shows “Create a new blog.” The folder is empty.
Additionally, just a month ago I tried accessing my old blog again and I kept getting a message that read “cannot access the dashboard without being invited by the admin if this twhecht log in if it is not then log out.” I am the admin for my blog!I don’t understand why WordPress.com does this to their users. Either delete the blog permanently or let us access our blogs.
Need help with this problem.

http://thehikingjuggernaut.wordpress.com/ – is alive & safe.
You might have just deleted / hidden the blog from yourself – log out and try the options below – I will also flag this for the staff in case you transferred the blog by accident – they can retrieve it for you
@TT has some more info on un-hiding a blog but can’t remember the steps – she usually stops by in the morning

To delete a free hosted WordPress.COM blog you must be logged in under the exact same username account that registered a blog to delete the blog. To prevent accidental or inadvertent deletion of blogs, there are multiple warnings given that blog deletion is permanent and irreversible. Lastly, a verification link is sent in an email and must be clicked to delete a blog. If clicking that link does not work then copy and paste it into your upper browser window and click.

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.

Ok thanks I will try recovering my blog. I am still using twhecht as my username since it will accept it. I also changed my password.
I will let you know if I can recover it. -
If you have indeed deleted your blog and cannot get it back you may not be able to prevent your old blog from showing up in Google searches, for even when the original content no longer exists portions of it will remain in Google’s cache for an indeterminate period of time.

I have only one email and one username. Eurello if that account is different than the one I am currently logged in with….. what else could it be? I only used my username and email to sign up. But the ironic thing is that I tried using my email to log in and again, it gave me the same error message: “Cannot log in if this is not twhecht, then log out or ask for invite by admin.” I wonder if the blog is deleted.

Ok I reset my password and used my email to log in.
I am logged into my old blog but its not letting me post any new blogs. It is saying I am logged in though.
