  I have two old blogs from 5 years or more that I don’t want to come up in SEO searches as I am now a published author. Both were ones I wrote and managed under emails that no longer exist or that I have access or back ups of. How can I get WordPress to delete them

  wordpress.com doesn’t delete sites on demand. Only the owner is able to do so. To restore access to your other account, https://en.support.wordpress.com/account-recovery/

  Thanks. Where on wordpress do I request to make these two old blogs private?
  I can’t find it (sorry I am out of touch with how wordpress dashboard works). M
