  I see that shushl.wordpress.com is deleted, but you say it still appears in the sites listed under this account you’re posting from? Very strange. I flagged your thread for Support staff help.

  @shushlmedia

  Pulling up your account, I don’t see that site under your active sites list. I see the site shushlmedia.wordpress.com, which is the placeholder for your shushl.media website hosted here on the Explorer plan.

  If you’re referring to the deleted site showing your My Sites list – https://wordpress.com/sites – it will show there for 30 days after deletion to allow you to restore the site if the site was deleted in error as shown.

  

  Since the site was deleted less than 30 days ago, it’ll still show in the list. It should be fully purged later this week. Reach back out if you still see it there after Friday.

  Let us know if you have any other questions.

  Thank you for that explanation, @staff-heroponriki I found the reference to this in the Support Guides. https://wordpress.com/support/delete-site/#restore-a-deleted-site

  What happens if the deleted/restored site was using a retired theme? Is the retired theme restored as well? If not, what happens? I’m asking because I didn’t see any mention of this there. Thanks.

  @2020testjj When a site is restored, it is restored to the same state it was at the time it was deleted.
  
  This means that if the site was using a retired theme at the moment of the deletion, the site would be restored with the retired theme.
  
  Hope this helps!
