  I changed my username and must have hit the wrong button. Instead of changing my current website to the new username I created a completely different site. Is there a way to delete the new site and change the name of my current site?

  Hi there,

  Deleting a site permanently removes it and you’ll never be able to re-use its WordPress.com address (such as yourgroovysite.wordpress.com).

  So if you intend to use the new site address for your current site, you would want to import the content you want to use manually by following the steps in the below guide:
