Need to delete an old account

    In college I had to create a work samples page. I created (email visible only to moderators and staff). The blog i would like to get rid of is https://tuc71657.wordpress.com/ This account is linked to an e-mail address that no longer exists. How do I remove this very embarrassing thing from the internet? I have not found any way to reset the password. Everything about this blog is tied into my e-mail that no longer exists.

    Thanks

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

    Hi there,

    You will need to be logged in as the account that owns the site in order to delete it.

    Can you ask your college to temporarily reactivate your old email address? Then you can reset the password to the account and change the email address to one you have access to.

    If that’s not possible, the only other option is to submit the account recovery form that requires some form of verification of your ownership of the site.

    This is the only way we’d be able to give you access to the account. We have a strict policy in place to protect our users from third parties who might try to use our support system to gain access to other users’ accounts and cannot make any exceptions in this regard.
