Old wordpress account.
-
I started wordpress blog a while back, called ‘carlamariaphotography’. I want to delete that as I have started a new blog (carlamariaphoto), but search engines are bringing me to my old one. I can’t remember what email/password, etc was used to make the account. is there anyway for me to delete it without a password??

Every WordPress.COM blog has a sole owner. It is the person with the WordPress.COM username account who registered the blog under that username account and a single associated email address, and who is the original Admin of the blogs registered under that username account.
You have to be logged in as Admin http://en.support.wordpress.com/user-roles/#administrator under the exact same username account that registered the blog to access the blog’s dashboard and renew any subscription.
The Admin login link to the dashboard for every blog hosted by wordpress.COM is:
http://NAME_OF_BLOG.wordpress.com/wp-admin/
* You will have to replace “name_of_blog” with the actual blog’s name in that URL.
There is a single email address that can be used on only one username account and not on any others, regardless of how many blogs are registered under that username account.

The blog’s owner can change the relevant email address on their accounts page at https://wordpress.com/me/account
This support doc https://en.support.wordpress.com/passwords/ covers how the blog’s owner can change or reset their account password, and keeping their WordPress.com account (and other online services) secure.

https://en.support.wordpress.com/email-notifications/gmail-issues/After the blog’s owner logs in clicking this link should display all blogs registered under the same username account, including the hidden ones: https://dashboard.wordpress.com/wp-admin/index.php?page=my-blogs&show=hidden
If they do not see the blog here http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/ then they need to follow this guide > http://en.support.wordpress.com/my-blogs/#my-blogs-dashboard-visibility
If the log-in information is lost they need to visit https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
If you check each and every possible email address and account and are not successful gaining access to the blog(s) then please have the blog’s owner complete the form for account recovery at this link https://en.wordpress.com/wp-login.php?action=recovery and submit it to the Account Recovery Staff, and provide proof ownership, so they can contact you by email ie. not on these public support forums which are available to everyone with internet access.
