need to start over, very frustrated
-
I am new to this. I have two issues. I have already completed a website layout using WP and MAMP remote server. Then I went to start the sequence of creating the live website from WP.com. I started the registration process, Got my domain name. I tried to create a website using a supplied theme and online tools but they were very different than what I had used offline, so I have made a mess. I need to delete the mess I’ve now created. Then I’d like to be able to upload and install the site I created offline. Is this possible. Thanks for your time.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

No. There is no FTP access to wordpress.COM blogs. https://en.support.wordpress.com/ftp-access/ We cannot upload third party themes, custom themes or create our own themes here.

In the instructions it said that my work so far can be deleted but my domain and URL will remain, is this possible?

Which instructions? Are you asking how to remove the content at http://gsbranham.wordpress.com/ ?
If the answer is yes, then you have two options:
(1) Doing this quickly and easily yourself http://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/
(2) Waiting in a queue and having Staff do it for you.Staff can empty the whole blog for you. That will remove all data including posts, pages, tags, categories, comments, and uploaded files and once deleted, the data cannot be recovered.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Deleting blogs and/or blog content does not remove 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. To completely remove an entire page from Google search results after it produces a 404 (page not found):

(1) confirm the URL of the blog you want them to empty;
(2) confirm that you know content deletion is irreversible. -
I so appreciate your time, but I followed the link for me to clear the data myself and it shows tools that are not present in my interface. When I go to the “Pages” page there are no boxes to check. I work in Adobe CC software daily and this is so much the opposite. Very frustrating just to do a simple website. I guess I have to have staff accomplish this or I’ll just give this mess up. Thanks.

Please understand that this is WordPress.COM support. It is not WordPress.ORG support.
We provide support only for wordpress.COM hosted sites. Our support docs do not apply to
(1) local installs of wordpress.ORG software on your own server or
(2) wordpress.ORG software installs on paid hosting, and we do not provide support for them at wordpress.COM.Also, note that we do not provide Jetpack support https://jetpack.me/support/ for sites linked to wordpress.COM accounts with the Jetpack plugin.
You are posting to the wrong support forum.
WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different username accounts, logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
As you are referring to a site that is not hosted here, if you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG account, then click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right-hand corner of the page that opens, https://wordpress.org/support/register.php so you can post to the support forums there.

I hear what you are saying about .com vs .org. I started this adventure on .com, got a domain/URL assigned. Then began the process. So how do I stop this?
