  I created a new user for one of my blogs. Unfortunately I typed in wrong [non existent] email address :(

  Is there any way to correct this silly mistake?

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

  Hi, Catscan. You should be able to just retype the correct address into the
  “Usernames or Email Addresses” field.

  See: http://en.support.wordpress.com/adding-users/

  Cheers,

  No, I wasn’t even able to express here what I meant :)

  I’d changed the URL of a blog, and created a new WP-user ID to go with the new URL. As I did that, I typed in wrong email address, so that new user-ID can never be activated. It’s a sad situation, and I should have been more careful.

  Ah, I see. That’s a different problem. If you remember your password, you should still be able to log in using the new user ID you created. Have you tried that?
