  Hi there,

  I will try to help you with this. You have two accounts with WordPress.com. You wish to transfer a blog from one account to another one.

  If yes then follow this documentation step by step
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/transferring-a-site-to-another-wordpress-com-account/

  erase the one that is posted

  You can delete a site by following this
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  Note:
  Once you delete your site you can’t have the same domain name. Read the link below before doing so.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  If you wish to use this domain name in future, I would suggest you to empty your site instead of deleting it

  Hope this helps!

  I am starting a free acct. but when I logged and stated I had a domain name which I own they wanted me to pay. I own standuppoet.com. So why are wordpress people misleading. why don’t they say if you own a domain acct we will map you and you will pay. I don’t want to pay. Can I get a free act or not. If not how can I delete all info in the word press database about me.

  Hi @kenjb100,

  WordPress.com provides sub-domain for free account users. If you want to have a custom domain name or wish to map your custom domain name then you need to purchase upgrade plan.

  So I may disappoint you but we don’t have custom domain feature for free account.

  If not how can I delete all info in the word press database about me

  There is no way to delete a WordPress account once created.
  You can instead leave you account inactive by following this:

  1) Delete Site linked to account
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/delete-site/

  2) Change your password to random string and leave the account inactive.

  3) Change email address under Account Settings. This will help in creating another WordPress account in future with same email id as every WordPress account is linked to unique email id.
  Follow this link for detailed information: https://en.support.wordpress.com/deleting-accounts/

  Note:
  Once you delete your site (http://standuppoetcom.wordpress.com) you can’t have the same domain name. Read the link below before doing so.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/recycling-blog-names/

  You can empty site instead of deleting it, if you wish to use URL in future
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/empty-site/

  Hope this helps!
