  Hey there, 5elements.wordpress.com hasn’t been deleted. It’s just under another account. Are you able to log in as that user?

  If you’re not sure what it is, try commenting on one of the posts, then check all of your email addresses to see which one has a notification. You should then be able to log in with that address.

  OR, if you actually need help with a different site, can you share a link to it?

  If I find it in another account, should I delete it from there? Will I be able to rename the one I’m currently working on?

  If you’d want to re-use that same site address, we strongly recommend not deleting it. The reason for this is that the addresses of deleted sites cannot be re-used at all.

  Instead you could empty it to start over, and possibly invite this account of yours to be another administrator; you could then also transfer ownership of the site from one account to the other.

  We have some information regarding these things:
